Day 01
Wow, the riders just went out this morning to warm up when storm Emma came in, from nothing to 50kts winds within an hour. The riders had to struggle with their kites and safety systems where released.
There was no way to do this event, so we canceled which means we have full day of energy for the kick off party tonight. Dj Jazz and Jeagge arrived this afternoon and set up their turntables and microphone so the party can begin.

Day2
Wow what an amzing day! The big storm left us with 25 knots, 20cm freh powder and blue sky. Perfect conditions for the freestyle competition we started at 11am after a quick briefing.
The riders were down to 7-8m kites boosting huge airs, with transitions and handle passes. The 16 Snowboarders, 13 Skier plus 2 Ladies loved the park we set up with 6 kicker and 2 rails. The perfomance of the riders was incredible spetacular.

Day03
The OSKM goes on. Another great day here at Berninapass for our event. The weather couldn’t be better. Blue sky and warm sun up to 15°C in the sun.
The wind came late and weak yet we started the Cross Country Race in very light wind conditions. 40 Starters together on Snowboard or Ski started at the same time using their biggest kites.

Day04
Today the OSKM Bernina made history by us running the Worlds 1st “Best Line” competition.
The rules were simple, 4 riders in a heat had 30 minutes to climb as high as they could, then pack the kite and free-ride down with the kite on their backs choosing the sickest line possible.
Solo and the other judges were positioned at the base of the main route to the top of the section most riders chose to take. Over 1000m was climbed with most riders reaching the top within 15 minutes!
