Second place went to Eric Willett from the United States while Kevin Backstrom from Sweden took the final spot on the podium. New Slopestyle Course Grandvalira’s Coliflor Freestyle Team has been working hard on an all-new slopestyle course for this year’s ten-year anniversary of the Grandvalira Total Fight. The highly technical new course has been designed in order to showcase the spectacular tricks without compromising the riders’ safety, thanks to the amazing set-up at Snowpark El Tarter, the best park in southern Europe.
