Kick-off For The 10th Freeski & Snowboard World Cup Covatsch In Silvaplana 23-26 March 2023
Everything is underway for the anniversary edition of the FIS Freeski & Snowboard World Cup Corvatsch in Silvaplana. 150 snowboarders and freeskiers from all over the world gather at Corvatsch Park this week for the last Slopestyle World Cup of the season. From 23-26 March 2023, riders reach deep into their bag of tricks, with CHF 110,000 in prize money, prestigious titles, and the large and small Crystal Globes at stake.
The 450-metres long slopestyle course at Corvatsch, designed and built by Kobi Würsch and his team, and a source of praise by riders, year after year, is at the centre of the action. Also in 2023 there are exciting new features like the halfpipe at the end of the course. Progressive, innovative and creative, it offers everything that makes a freestyler's heart beat faster. The audience on site and in front of screens all over the world can expect a true explosion of tricks! Watch out for reigning Freeski Slopestyle world champions Mathilde Gremaud (SUI) and Birk Ruud (NOR), who is also the defending Corvatsch champion. Also the freshly crowned Snowboard Slopestyle world champs showcase their skills: two-time Corvatsch winner Marcus Kleveland (NOR) as well as the 16-year-old Mia Brookes (GBR), who celebrated a brilliant entry into the World Cup circus this year.

Among the freeskiers, local hero Andri Ragettli will be doing his utmost to take the podium at the end of the season on home soil. But Alex Hall (USA), Mac Forehand (USA) and Jesper Tjader (SWE) are also among fan favourites, as are Johanne Killi (NOR), 2021 Corvatsch winner Tess Ledeux (FRA) and Sarah Höfflin (SUI).
