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]
