Only three weeks are left until the Nissan White Style presented by Kona will take place in the snowy center of Leogang. The third anniversary of the snowy mountain bike slopestyle contest will be held on February 2nd.
This year’s course will be built next to the Schantei ski-lift station and will dwarf previous year's. Grant Fielder is again the master of construction and plans to build some wicked jumps and obstacles. All the riders are anxious to see what the British Kona Clump team rider creates.
About 20 international top riders will take part at the Nissan White Style presented by Kona. Qualifying runs take place on Saturday afternoon. Saturday night at 8:30 pm, ten finalists will complete two final runs to determine the winner. Riders are competing for 5,000 euros in prize money.
