The Snowboard World Cup in parallel giant slalom in Carezza was ceremoniously opened on Wednesday, December 14th with the gondola handover of the Hubertus cable car to last year's winners and the starting number draw. The winners of the last edition of the Snowboard World Cup in Carezza, Daniela Ulbing and Stefan Baumeister, inaugurated the gondola of the Hubertus cable car dedicated to them on Wednesday afternoon.

The Austrian snowboarder, reigning Olympic runner-up in the parallel giant slalom and third at the World Cup opener in Winterberg (Germany) last Sunday, was happy about the honor: “I am very happy. It is a great honor when a gondola bears your own name. It reminds me of the beautiful moments of last season, that's very special." The German snowboarder Baumeister, who also finished third last Sunday, was also happy about the gondola: "It's really fantastic. Seeing your name on a gondola that you have ridden up and down so many times is truly remarkable,” he commented.
