The Big Air is the most popular spectator sport of the three events of the Saas-Fee Ride.

Off a jumps and rails in the park in Saas-Fee, skiers will be competing to land the biggest and wildest jumps they can. Visually, this is an awe-inspiring event, showcasing the skill, courage and creativity of modern skiers.

At last years premiere of the Big Air Comp in the Saas-fee Ride the crowd were treated to 1080 degree twists, multiple back flips, front flips, off-axis rotations, spectacular somersaults and grabs. Otherwise known to the core audience as Rodeos, Corks, Mistys, Lincons and flat spins.........

The person who puts on the most explosive display, whilst remaining in control (i.e. landing the jump) wins the competition. Competitors are judged over two jumps on difficulty, style and amplitude.
