The TTR World Snowboard Tour continues this week, with Olympian Iouri Podladtchikov among those taking 'The Arctic Challenge' in Oslo.
The event begins on Friday, March 5 and you'll be able to see it live on redbull.com. We will have a live webcast of Sunday’s action as the contest draws to what is bound to be an exciting conclusion.
Only recently returned from Canada's Winter Olympics, Podladtchikov, who finished fourth in Halfpipe for Switzerland in Vancouver, has another big fight on his hands.
An uphill task, you might call it – Finland’s Peetu Piiroinen is odds-on to secure his second consecutive TTR Tour championship, with I-Pod currently trailing his rival in second place.
Slovenian Marko Grilc will also be in competition as he bids to improve on his current fourth-place standing.
Norwegian fans, meanwhile, will see Mikkel Bang and Torstein Horgmo challenging their international peers in a 6-Star Slopestyle event on home soil for the first time.
In the women’s competition, Sarka Pancochova will be hoping to upstage world number one, the Norwegian-born Lisa Wiik. Just two points separate the top two in a race for the championship that is still far from decided.
First practice takes place on Thursday, March 4, with the grand final on Sunday the 7th.
An exciting weekend is in store. Hit the TTR World Tour site for more information and remember to come back on Sunday for our live webcast.
