Best Ski Party of the Season - Audi Quattro Night - Lenzerheide 2014 - BtS

Mar 16, 2019·Alpine Skiing

It has become a tradition that every year, at the Finals Audi throws a fantastic party for the skiers and their teams, providing everyone with a fun opportunity to come together and celebrate a long winter. Also, some very special awards are given out that night. After watching a series of clips, all those at the party voted by applause to award this year's prizes for Run of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Best Crash, Comeback of the year and Social Media. Check out the atmosphere of the night in our Behind the Scenes! The FIS Alpine Ski World Cup is the top international circuit of Alpine Skiing competitions staged annually. It is considered the premier competition in alpine ski racing together with the quadrennial Olympic Winter Games and the biennial FIS Alpine World Ski Championships. Some experts event consider winning the World Cup to be athletically a more valuable title than winning gold at the Olympic Winter Games or the World Championships, since it requires a competitor to ski at an extremely high level in several events throughout the season, and not just in one race. Today, the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup races are held primarily at famous ski resorts in the European Alps, along with regular stops in Scandinavia, North America, and Far East Asia. Competitors attempt to score a maximum of points during the season in five events: slalom, giant slalom, super-G, downhill and super combined. The fifth event, super-combined, was introduced in 2005 and generally consists of a shorter downhill race and a one-run slalom. Sometimes the downhill is replaced by a super-G. Alpine was added to the Olympic winter schedule in 1936.
