A wonderful race and the longest descent in the world:-)!!!
Just register at http://www.schlagdasass.at/ and you get the chance to test yourself in the race. Starts are in groups of about 20 people and you try to ski the course of over 25 km as fast as possible. Careful, every second counts, so fight even when boarding the cable car!!!
The race is open to all racers and hobby skiers who register and want to experience the great atmosphere of the race with a rich supporting programme.
The prizes for the first three places are a dream: 1. A Ford Focus on loan for 6! months, 2. A week's stay with a 6-day ski pass at the hotel Falkensteiner Carinzia 3. A hot-air balloon flight for 2 people with the Gosser balloon
Ass does not mean a backside, but the first letters of the name of the well-known World Cup racer Armin Assinger, who also takes part in the race in the first group of skiers! So you can compare your time with the very best.
