SCOTT Riders Impress At Engadinsnow.com

Silvaplana, Switzerland January 8 - 11, 2004. The Ski and Snowboard Freeride and Freestyle event Engadinesnow.com was a big success for the SCOTT International Team. The Freeride event on Thursday was dominated by Austria's Eric Themel (Snowboard) and by Swedish skier Sverre Liliequist. Themel is sponsored by SCOTT goggles. Longtime SCOTT rider Seb Michaud (FR) won the qualifying in the Freeski competition. Michaud was injured after launching the highest cliff on the north face of the Corvatsch, but still finished in third place. We have no doubt Seb will be skiing again soon.

The snowboard big air contest was won by local rider Gian Simmen. SCOTT rider Ilkka Ojansivu made it into fifth place after winning the qualifying round. Austrian freeskier Martin Misov convinced with his performance and took first place in big air. Third through fifth places went to three other SCOTT riders: Laurent Favre (FR) (who also won the qualifying) made the podium, followed by Andy Kröll (AUT) and Jacob Wester (SWE).
