The Grand Prix La Parva, part of the Ford Chile Winter Series Visa circuit, brought together some of the world’s top athletes on the legendary “Barros Negros” speed track at Ski La Parva, providing spectacular conditions for high-level alpine skiing speed.
Speeds of over 130 km/h, 30-meter jumps, sharp turns, and plenty of adrenaline were on display during these races, which were valid for the South American Cup, an international circuit that offers World Cup slots and is part of the global circuit of competitions sanctioned by the International Ski Federation (FIS).
Chilean racer and Ski La Parva ambassador, Henrik Von Appen, had an outstanding performance, making the most of his local knowledge by securing a victory and a second-place finish in the downhill races. He’s gearing up for the World Cup circuit in the USA and Europe.
