The SBX World Cup Montafon is a snowboard competition that takes place annually in Montafon in Vorarlberg (Austria) as part of the FIS Snowboard World Cup.[1]
The competitions are held at Hochjoch in Schruns in the Silvretta Montafon ski area. The following disciplines have been carried out in Montafon so far: snowboard cross (SBX) and parallel slalom (PSL). The snowboard cross route is 980 meters long and the parallel slalom route is 280 meters long.[2]
History
Snowboarding was added to the FIS competition program in May 1994. The first Snowboard World Championship was held in 1996.[3]
In the 2010/11 season, the Snowboard Cross World Cup was held in Lech am Arlberg,[4] before it continued to be held in Montafon. There, the first Snowboard Cross World Cup took place in December 2012.[5]
In December 2014, the snowboard cross had to be cancelled due to warm temperatures. Instead, a parallel slalom and mixed team competition were held.[6] In 2018, snow production was impossible for the track, due to warm temperatures once again, so that year the snowboard cross had to be cancelled.[7]
In the season 2020/21, due to policies regarding COVID-19, all races in Montafon (FIS Ski Cross Weltcup, FIS Snowboard Cross World Cup) had to be postponed to 15 and 16 January 2021, and later be cancelled completely.[8] The next Snowboardcross World Cup is planned for 15-17 March 2024.
