On January 31st, 2009 the 13.000 spectators will feel the magic atmosphere of the Billabong Air & Style Innsbruck-Tirol 09 again. The Air & Style Company set up an artificial snow production directly in  the Bergisel Stadium. So the number of necessary truck transports from  the Stubaier Gletscher to Innsbruck could be reduced. This year it will be  a mix of artificial snow and snow from the Stubaital. Using only artificial  snow was not possible due to warm weather one week ago. This mix of  snow lays perfect foundations for inrun and quarter pipe. The snow that  fell out of the sky last week had to be removed from the grandstands,  because safety first is essential.

These are the this year’s riders:
