Due to the poor weather conditions, there were not as many spectators as hoped for but the event was still a success. The winners were as follows:
1st place - Aljosa Stefanovic (SLO)
2nd place - MIljan Boskovic (SRB)
3rd place - Nikola Vrhovec (CRO)
Srdjan from the Scardus team said the following "Competitors were very satisfied with the competition, atmosphere and organization. Few days before begining of the race we had rain showers and strong southern winds that melted great deal of snow on planned piste. So we had to relocate piste to higher altitude where there is more snow. New piste was built in two days and we can be very proud of our competitors who were very keen to help in building and construction of new piste so everything was ready for the competition in time.We have learned a lot from this experience and this knowledege we'll use for organization of future competitions."
