1st UCI Snow Bike World Championships 2024
👉 10-11 Feb 2024
📍 Chatel Linga, Châtel ,France
Two competition formats on snow, directly inspired by alpine skiing, will be on the program for this first edition of the event: the super-G and the dual slalom.
Saturday 10th: Super-G races
The Super-G races will take place over a single run, on a track with a vertical drop of between 350 and 650 metres, depending on the route chosen. The distance between the gates will be around 20-25 metres, as in Alpine skiing. The racers will start one by one, at regular intervals.
Sunday 11th: Dual-slalom races
The dual slalom (comparable to the parallel slalom contested in snowboarding and alpine skiing) is an event made up of a series of elimination races pitting two riders against each other on two parallel slalom courses, in two heats, alternating the courses. The rider with the fastest combined time moves on to the next round of the competition. The courses will last approximately 30 seconds.
