History

Snowboarding was added to the FIS competition program in May 1994, the first Snowboard World Championship was held in 1996. [3]

In the 2010/11 season, the Snowboard Cross World Cup was held once in Lech am Arlberg. [4] Then they looked up a region in Vorarlberg for a suitable place to present the snowboard cross optimally. The Montafon turned out to be suitable for this. The first Snowboard Cross World Cup took place in December 2012. [5]

In December 2014, the snowboard cross had to be cancelled due to warm temperatures. Instead, a parallel slalom and mixed team competition were held. [6] Due to the warm temperatures, snow production was impossible for the track in 2018, so that year, the snowboard cross had to be cancelled. [7]

In the season 2020/21, due to policies regarding COVID-19, all races in the Montafon (FIS Ski Cross Weltcup, FIS Snowboard Cross World Cup) had to be postponed to 15 and 16 January 2021, and later be cancelled completely. [8]
