The desire to create an event linked to ski entertainment, a participation full of stars but also the ability to involve young local athletes and an audience who were able to experience almost 48 hours alongside the champions.
The first edition of the “Red Bull Alpine Park” was decidedly happy, starting on Friday in Val d’Isère, the adopted home of Clément Noel, the man who wanted to set it up, with the support of the energy drinks giant which is his historic partner , a decidedly special three days, culminating on Saturday with a parallel slalom race, including jumps and obstacles, which spoke decidedly… blue.
Among the teams made up of mixed quartets with two World Cup-level athletes and as many debutants, the team led by Alex Vinatzer prevailed who, together with the German Emma Aicher, celebrated with the young transalpines Léo Coppel and Cléo Chalamel .
At the gate there were two representatives of the Italian women’s national team, Federica Brignone and Martina Peterlini, but also many other big names from the top circuit, from Sarrazin to Muffat-Jeandet, from Loic Meillard to AJ Ginnis, passing through slalomists such as Steven Amiez and Fabio Gstrein (knocked out with her team in the final with the team captained by Vinatzer), but also Kajsa Vickhoff Lie herself.
Then all together on Saturday evening, among the people, at Paul Kalkbrenner’s concert.
