I’VE BEEN ON THE PODIUM IN RIKSGRÄNSEN A NUMBER OF TIMES BUT NEVER ON THE TOP. IT’S NO DOUBT ONE OF THE HARDEST BIG MOUNTAIN COMPETITIONS TO WIN. YOU HIKE AND SKI FOR THREE DAYS IN TECHNICAL TERRAIN WITH BIG AIRS AND THERE ARE SO MANY TALENTED RIDERS GOING FOR IT

SAYS BIG MOUNTAIN SKIING SUPERSTAR REINE BARKERED. THIS YEAR, REINE WILL JOIN THE JUDGES PANEL TOGETHER WITH FREERIDE WORLD TOUR SKIER JACKIE PAASO. BOTH ARE RECOVERING FROM INJURYS.
