Lucas Eguibar qualifies with the favourites for the first Sierra Nevada SBX World Cup final

Sierra Nevada launches the advance sales campaign for the winter season 2023/2024

Nota Informativa

Imagen de campaña

Cartel de la campana 23-24

With the slogan "Think cool", the Sierra Nevada ski and mountain resort is launching the pre-season ski season from Monday, 18 September, with the campaign for the advance sale of long-term and season ski passes with gradual discounts depending on the date of purchase. 
Thus, from 18 September to 17 October, discounts for season ski passes (individual or family) and 10 and 20-day passes will have a 20% discount; with the exception of the 15-day pass which, from when it goes on sale until 30 September, will have a special 30% discount. From 1 October, the 15-day long-stay pass will have a 20% discount like the rest of the products. 
In the second advance sales period, from 18 October to 2 November, the percentage discount on the same products will be 10 percent. Early purchase brings additional benefits to the user (such as night skiing, passes for the summer season or discounts on rentals, restaurants and parking) depending on the product and the period of purchase. 
Another important advantage in the purchase is the possibility of using next winter the days of the long-term ski passes purchased last season that could not be used, provided that for the 2023/2024 season one of equal or longer duration than the previous one is purchased. 
Also, this season, customers will be able to use their mobile phone as a ski pass, as the resort has implemented the "Mobile Pass" system. Sierra Nevada is a pioneer in the use of this system directly from its APP, in its more than 90 SKIDATA turnstiles, thus being a reference station in its commitment to digital transformation in its facilities. 
All users of the Sierra Nevada resort can download its APP, both on IOS and Android devices, and buy their ski passes through the same APP, or from the website and ATMs located throughout the resort. With SKIDATA's BLE technology, it will be loaded on the mobile phone and straight to the slopes. 
On the other hand, Sierra Nevada is working incessantly on the investments programmed for the new season, mainly in the renovation and implementation of new lifts (1 gondola and 2 ski lifts) and the installation of new snow cannons.

Eguibar, silver in the second World Cup of Sierra Nevada, becomes leader of the overall SBX

Photos

The Spanish rider (Movistar SBX Team) Lucas Eguíbar has placed today leader of the overall Snowboard Cross World Cup after hanging the silver medal in the second round of the SBX world circuit played in the winter resort of Sierra Nevada.Eguibar, who on Saturday beat all his rivals with authority, lost in Sunday's test to the Swiss Kalle Koblet who is sixth overall in the World Cup. The final round, once the great rivals of the Spanish rider had been eliminated in the previous rounds (the Italian Omar Visintin and the Austrian Martin Noerl), was a constant exchange of positions between the four snowboarders who disputed the victory.The Spaniard went from the first to the last position and again to the first to, after the last cant, be suppurated by Kalle Koblet, who yesterday had been sixth. The other big winner of the weekend is the French Loan Bozzolo, who, after being fourth on Saturday in the first world cup, today climbed to the third step of the podium and is second overall, 7 points behind Eguibar.Eguibar acknowledged at the finish line, supported by his family and numerous fans, that the weekend in Sierra Nevada had been round: "It sounds good to be leader of the World Cup. We had been looking for it for a long time and I came this weekend with that intention and knowing that I could really do it. I'm happy to be here, in this position and I think I can keep winning in the tests we have left." The rider of the Movistar SBX Team, who arrived in Sierra Nevada eighth overall and is leader, has admitted that while he has had an almost perfect weekend, the Austrian Martin Noerl, who headed the general of the World Cup, "has done two very bad races" and says goodbye to the Granada station fourth of the world circuit."I think I can continue in this dynamic and have very good races in Switzerland and Canada. The optimism is very high, "said Eguibar before the challenge of conquering his second crystal balloon in snowboard cross if he maintains the pace shown in Sierra Nevada in the three world cups that remain to be played.If Eguibar has been the dominator of the weekend in Sierra Nevada with a first and a second place, the British Charlotte Bankes has been even more so in the women's category after winning the two finals and dominating almost all the elimination rounds.Like Lucas, the results of Bankes in the Granada station serve to make him leader of the overall World Cup, surpassing the French Chloe Trespeuch, who gives the British the first place in the SBX world circuit.The two world cups of Sierra Nevada have been developed in the spectacular circuit of Loma de Dílar, 985 meters long and a slope of 155 meters, in a great atmosphere of public and sport with sun and high temperatures.

Fotos de la 1ª Final de Sierra Nevada

The Spanish rider (Movistar SBX Team), Lucas Eguibar, won today the first of the two Snowboard Cross World Cups in Sierra Nevada after winning all the qualifying rounds and beating the Italians Omar Visintin and Lorenzo Sommariva in the final, in the SBX circuit of the Granada resort where the rider from San Sebastian won in 2020 and took two silver medals in the 2017 World Cup (individual and team with Regino Hernández).
With the support of the fans who filled the Loma de Dílar grandstand, Eguibar, who showed in practice and qualifying that he was perfectly adapted to the circuit, acknowledged after stepping off the podium his love affair with the Sierra Nevada SBX circuit: "I think it's one of the best races we've had. The weather has been quite changeable, and the snow has been difficult to work with, but they have done really well. I think this race will allow other organisations to get to grips with how to do events like this World Cup.
In the fight for the Crystal Globe Lucas Eguibar is in fourth place with 232 points, third is Frenchman Loan Bozzolo (FRA) with 245 points, second is Italian Omar Visintin (ITA) with 250 points and the overall leader remains German Martin Noerl (GER) with 274 points. The next round will take place tomorrow, Sunday, with a first qualifying round and then the final in a row.
"I felt very comfortable on the track, I had extra motivation to get rid of the thorn from the World Cup in Bakuriani (Georgia) and I tried to give it my all. Today I was totally focused on Saturday's race and Sunday's race will be another story. I'm going to be very aggressive because this Sierra Nevada circuit is very good for me and we're going all out for what's left. The Crystal Globe is the goal", said the Movistar SBX Team Spainsnow rider.
In the women's category, like Lucas in the men's, British rider Charlotte Bankes once again felt comfortable on the Loma de Dílar SBX circuit. There, where in 2012 she was proclaimed world junior runner-up and in the 2017 absolute world championships she won the team silver medal, Bankes won the gold medal today, followed by the leader of the World Cup, Chloe Trespeuch; the Frenchwoman who always competes in the Granadian resort ends up on the podium.
Third place went to the incombustible Lindsey Jacobellis, 37 years old. Jacobellis is probably the greatest SBX rider of all time. Two Olympic and five World Cup golds crown the American rider, who has 32 World Cup victories to her name. In Sierra Nevada she was world champion in 2017 and second in the 2020 World Cup behind Moioli.

Sierra Nevada hosts Spain's biggest international snow event of the year this weekend

Sierra Nevada hosts this weekend the most important winter sports competition of the season in Spain with the celebration of two events of the Snowboard Cross World Cup in which a hundred of the best world riders of the discipline will participate, among them the members of the Spanish team with the rider from San Sebastian Lucas Eguibar at the head.
The two rounds of the Sierra Nevada SBX World Cup were presented today in the Alhambra. After the official photo of the participating teams in the Jardines del Partal, the Director General of Sports Systems and Values of the Junta de Andalucía, María de Nova, stressed that "Andalusia is once again hosting major sporting events which, as well as promoting sport, serve as an important tourist and cultural attraction. 
"That is why it is so important that Andalusia is hosting this Snowboard Cross World Cup, we have that privilege, and it will also take place in a wonderful environment such as Sierra Nevada, which is undoubtedly a plus for the competition and for the athletes who visit us," she stressed.
<img src="https://umb.sierranevada.es/media/umrhyq5i/_car9788.jpg?width=1200" alt="" class="img-fluid">
The competition, sponsored by the Consejería de Turismo, Cultura y Deporte de la Junta de Andalucía with co-financing from the European Union, is held just after the World Snowboard Championships in Bakuriani (Georgia) and before the last two races (in Veysonnaz, Switzerland; and Mr. St. Ann, Canada) that will close the annual SBX World Cup circuit.
The CEO of Cetursa Sierra Nevada, Jesús Ibáñez, has highlighted the "enormous effort" of the team of constructors of Sierra Nevada to configure, "not always with favourable weather", a circuit "of great attraction" for the riders, the public and the televisions. 
"Of the 10 competitions in the world, two are held here in SN. We have been working on this for a long time, we want to thank the role of Spainsnow and the Andalusian Winter Sports Federation (FADI) for wanting to take on this project together with us. We want people to enjoy themselves, the people of Granada and Andalusia to be able to go up and see this world spectacle," said Ibáñez.
The Loma de Dílar SBX circuit consists of six banked corners, four jumps and seven bumpy areas (dubbies). In Spain, Teledeporte, Eurosport and Andalucía Televisión will broadcast the Sierra Nevada World Cup, while 20 television channels will distribute the signal in European, Asian and American countries.
The president of the Royal Spanish Winter Sports Federation (RFEDI), May Peus, recalled that holding top-level events in Spain "is included in our Strategic Plan. We started to believe it in 2017 after the snowboard and freeski World Cup, in which we had some fantastic results together with the bronze medal of Regino Hernández at the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang. Thanks to the Movistar Cup we have riders like Álvaro -Romero- who is still a junior and has medals in events of this style (juniors) and who has just had a great World Cup. We have Spanish heroes who are the rivals to beat in this World Cup in Sierra Nevada.
In this sense, the president of the Andalusian federation, Carlos Santandreu, has underlined the possibilities of sporting evolution of Andalusian riders thanks to Sierra Nevada's commitment to snowboard cross; so much so that local riders like Candela Fuentes and Lorenzo Jiménez, who this year have participated in the European Cup SBX, are already in the orbit of the national team.
FIS snowboard coordinator Uwe Beier thanked "everyone involved from Sierra Nevada to the federations for organising the two World Cups. It's an important event for us, we want to grow our sport and venues like Sierra Nevada bring us closer to the goal of making it more popular. We have a long circuit with a lot of snow and I'm sure we will enjoy it".
The young rider of RFEDI, Alvaro Romero, representing the Spanish national team, has known today the circuit of the Loma de Dílar and his impression could not be better: "it looks very good, it is a long circuit, big and well done curves, a lot of work when making this circuit. It looks very good and we are very happy". "A very nice race because I was going with high expectations, to give my best level. It went very well, I fought a lot, with the best and I saw myself capable of being with them so I'm very happy to leave Georgia and it's the best thing that could happen to me to come here with the greatest motivation for the Sierra Nevada World Cup."

Sierra Nevada alberga este fin de semana la competición de deportes de invierno más importante de la temporada en España con la celebración de dos pruebas de la Copa del Mundo de Snowboard Cross en la que participarán un centenar de los mejores riders mundiales de la disciplina, entre ellos los integrantes del equipo español con el rider donostiarra Lucas Eguibar al frente.
Las dos pruebas de la Copa del Mundo SBX de Sierra Nevada han sido presentadas hoy en la Alhambra. Tras la foto oficial de los equipos participantes en los Jardines del Partal, la directora general de Sistemas y Valores del Deporte de la Junta de Andalucía, María de Nova, ha subrayado que “Andalucía vuelve a situarse como sede de grandes eventos deportivos que, además de promocionar la práctica deportiva, sirven de importante polo atracción turístico y cultural. 
“Por eso es tan importante que Andalucía sea la sede de esta Copa del Mundo de Snowboard Cross, tenemos ese privilegio, y además se va a desarrollar en un entorno maravilloso como es Sierra Nevada, lo que sin duda es un plus para la competición y para los deportistas que nos visiten”, ha subrayado.
<img src="https://umb.sierranevada.es/media/umrhyq5i/_car9788.jpg?width=1200" alt="SN_SBX23" class="img-fluid">
La competición, con el patrocinio de la Consejería de Turismo, Cultura y Deporte de la Junta de Andalucía con la cofinanciación de la Unión Europea, se celebra justo después del Campeonato del Mundo de Snowboard en Bakuriani (Georgia) y antes de las dos últimas carreras (en Veysonnaz, Suiza; y Mr. St. Ann, Canadá) que cerrarán el circuito anual de la Copa del Mundo SBX.
El consejero delegado de Cetursa Sierra Nevada, Jesús Ibáñez, ha destacado el “enorme esfuerzo” del equipo de constructores de Sierra Nevada para configurar, “no siempre con meteorología favorable”, un circuito “de gran atractivo” para los corredores, el público y las televisiones. 
“De las 10 competiciones que hay en el mundo, dos se hacen aquí en SN. Llevamos mucho tiempo trabajando en esto, queremos agradecer el papel de Spainsnow y de la Federación Andaluza de Deportes de Invierno (FADI) por querer asumir este proyecto junto con nosotros. Buscamos que la gente pueda disfrutar, que los granadinos y los andaluces puedan subir a ver este espectáculo mundial”, ha señalado Ibáñez.
El circuito SBX de la Loma de Dílar se compone de seis curvas peraltadas, cuatro saltos y siete zonas bacheadas (dubbies). En territorio nacional, Teledeporte, Eurosport y Andalucía Televisión ofrecerán la Copa del Mundo de Sierra Nevada, mientras que 20 cadenas de televisión distribuirán la señal en países europeos, asiáticos y americanos.

El presidente de la Real Federación Española de Deportes de Invierno (RFEDI), May Peus,ha recordado que  la celebración de pruebas de alto nivel en España “está plasmado en nuestro Plan Estratégico. Nos lo empezamos a creer en 2017 a raíz del mundial de snowboard y freeski en el que tuvimos unos fantásticos resultados junto con el bronce de Regino Hernández en los JJOO de Invierno de PyeongChang. Gracias a la Copa Movistar tenemos a riders como Álvaro -Romero- que es junior aún y que tiene medallas en eventos de este estilo (juniors) y que viene de hacer un gran Mundial. Tenemos héroes españoles que son los rivales a batir en esta Copa del Mundo de Sierra Nevada.
En ese sentido, el presidente de la federación andaluz, Carlos Santandreu, ha subrayado las posibilidades de evolución deportiva de los riders andaluces gracias a la apuesta de Sierra Nevada por el snowboard cross; tanto es así que corredores locales como Candela Fuentes y Lorenzo Jiménez, que este año han participan en Copa de Europa SBX ya están en la órbita del equipo nacional.
El coordinador de snowboard de la FIS, Uwe Beier, ha agradecido” a todo el mundo involucrado desde Sierra Nevada a las federaciones por la organización de las dos copas del mundo. Es un evento importante para nosotros, queremos hacer crecer nuestro deporte y que sedes como la de Sierra Nevada nos acercan al objetivo de hacerlo más popular. Tenemos un circuito largo y con mucha nieve y seguro que lo disfrutaremos”.
El joven rider de RFEDI, Alvaro Romero, en representación del equipo nacional español, ha conocido hoy el circuito de la Loma de Dílar y su impresión no puede ser mejor: “tiene muy buena pinta, es un circuito largo, curvas grandes y bien hechas, mucho trabajo a la hora de hacer este circuito. Tiene muy buena y estamos muy contentos.” “Una carrera muy bonita porque iba con expectativas altas, a dar mi mejor nivel. Salió muy bien, luché mucho, con los mejores y me vi capaz de estar con ellos así que me voy muy feliz de Georgia y es lo mejor que me podía pasar para venir aquí con la mayor motivación a la Copa del Mundo de Sierra Nevada.”

The Spanish rider (Movistar SBX Team), Lucas Eguibar, has qualified today for the first Snowboard Cross World Cup this weekend in Sierra Nevada along with the rest of the favourites except the recently proclaimed world champion in Bakuriani (Georgia) and fourth overall in this year's world circuit, the Austrian Jakob Dusek.
Eguibar, who had set the second fastest time in yesterday's practice sessions, dominated his heat, which also included the promising Álvaro Romero who, upset in the first corner of the circuit by Canadian Tristan Bell, came in third and was eliminated from Saturday's final rounds.
Bernat Rivera and Antoni Toledo also missed out on tomorrow's first World Cup after finishing third in their respective rounds.
In order to better preserve the course, affected by yesterday afternoon's rain, the FIS replaced the time classification system with the usual one for the final rounds in which the first two of each round have moved on to tomorrow's race.
<img src="https://umb.sierranevada.es/media/vdyh4itz/_car1638.jpg?width=1200" alt="" class="img-fluid">
The greats of the snowboard cross discipline, such as the top three in the overall World Cup, Martin Noerl (GER), Loan Bozzolo (FRA) and Omar Visintin, or the great dominators of SBX in the last decade (Alexandro Haemmerle, Eliot Grondin, Lorenzo Sommariva or Paul Berg), will be tomorrow alongside Lucas Eguibar in the fight for the podium of the first World Cup of this weekend in the winter resort of Granada.
"I'm as happy as the last time I took part in Sierra Nevada, I feel comfortable, I like the course, it's a track where you have to be aggressive. Besides, the team has done a great job with the boards and we are being fast. I'm looking forward to competing very well because after a World Championships where I couldn't give my best, I'm really looking forward to it, and having the support of my family and friends makes me even more motivated", said Eguibar at the finish line of the Loma de Dílar.
The other three riders of the Spanish team will have to wait for their chance in Sunday's second World Cup.

The favourites in tomorrow's final
In the women's field, the big names of the world circuit, Lindsey Jacobellis, Raffaela Brutto, Chloe Trespeuch or Eva Amamcykova, will be in tomorrow's final rounds of the circuit.
All of them passed with sufficiency except the French Trespeuch, the leader of the World Cup, who had to wait for the photo finish to know if she will be able to defend the podium (second) she obtained in 2020 in the same circuit of Sierra Nevada.
The competition, sponsored by the Consejería de Turismo, Cultura y Deporte de la Junta de Andalucía with the co-financing of the European Union, is held just after the World Snowboard Championships in Bakuriani (Georgia) and before the last two races (in Veysonnaz, Switzerland; and Mr. St. Ann, Canada) that will close the annual circuit of the SBX World Cup.
