The fast pace of Stage 1, complemented by the icy conditions, resulted in many crashes, some more serious than others. Even though some riders couldn\u2019t control their fatbikes at times, and landed on the icy paths, their sense of enjoyment of the beautiful route from Engelberg down the Fu\u0308renalp valley definitely overwhelmed some.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/SE15_STG01_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-80377\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/SE15_STG01_2.jpg\" alt=\"SE15_STG01_2\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Esther Su\u0308ss from Switzerland, a two time Absa Cape Epic winner, took home first place in the women\u2019s race with a time of 1:16.50,9. Alba Wunderlin (CH) and Amber Stull (USA) finished in 2nd and 3rd respectively. The men\u2019s race was won by Tomi Misser from Spain with a time of 1:05.29,4 ahead of Olympic gold medallist Bart Brentjens and reigning Masters cross country world champion Rune Hoydahl.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow will see the riders head from Engelberg up towards the Brunnihu\u0308tte which will surely be a very scenic route, but also one of the most challenging of the 2015 Snow Epic. The climb will be counted as Stage 2. After enjoying the views from the Brunnihu\u0308tte, riders will line-up again for Stage 3, which sees them race down towards Engelberg again.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/snow-epic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Results<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/SE15_STG01_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-80376\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/SE15_STG01_1.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a9 www.NICKMUZIK.com\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Press release] Just in time for the Stage 1 of the inaugural Snow Epic, the weather turned for the better.
