The World Championships of Snowskating went down on April 20, 2024 at Solheisen in Hemsedal, Norway.
We had 40 competitors representing 8 countries: Norway, Sweden, Germany, Lichtenstein, El Salvador, USA, Canada, and South Africa.
It was a fun family-oriented event where 30 of the skaters were male and 10 of the skaters were female. 4 of the skaters were juniors, and there were many masters.
The location was stunning at Solheisen, Norway with an Elevation of 800m. It was sunny spring conditions on 4/20/24 with firm pack for warmups and slush for the contest.
There were 4 events with a Winner-Take-All format in Banked Slalom, Chinese Downhill, Rail Jam, and Freestyle Jumping.
The Slalom course was a hand-shoveled banked slalom boardercross with gates.
The Chinese Downhill is from the top, beside the terrain park, over the road, and down to the bottom of the main T-Bar.
The Rail Jam was small/medium boxes and featured a banked wave and large hand-set tube.
The Freestyle Jump was a square-shaped gapped jump into the crowd and DJ.
Top finishers in the competition were -
Open:
1. Ryan Waldbillig
2. Terje Haakonsen
3. Phillipp Marx
Women:
1. Lari Rupp
2. Elisabeth Kristoffersen
3. Corrina Simi
Juniors:
1. Fabian Nystog
2. Ada Pohl-Larsen

After the main event, a Finger Snowskating World Championships was held, and Fabian Nystog prevailed.

Most of all, huge shoutout to Reidar Oren, who worked tirelessly to build the courses and produce the event!
