With the Olympics coming around many are still trying to lock in their spot and these events leading to the games are of the highest importance. Many nations select their team during these last moments and events, additional reason why not to miss Chur Big Air.”</em></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It’s going to be a premiere in more ways than one: for the first time ever there will be an international In-city Contest in Chur, for the first time in Switzerland there will be a kick-off for skiing and snowboarding under the FIS flag, and never before has there been a run like this one in the 160 prime slots, shared by women (30) and men (50) in two disciplines, with prize money of CHF 100,000.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Roberto Moresi assures:<em> “A great show is to be seen in Chur. I do like the challenges as well as the unknowns when you go to new places. Chur and partners are doing an amazing job and really believing that we should move on and look forward to a certain level of normality. Off course we are looking at staying safe and acting responsibly but it’s a good moment even just to feel a different vibe again.”</em></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The BIG AIR CHUR is also the first freestyle World Cup with an audience, following the Corona-induced spectator-free winter of 2020/2021.
