The main talking point though was the ascent, with several of the experienced riders describing it as the toughest they had ever taken on.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-80447 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Downhill1.jpg\" alt=\"Downhill1\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Tomi Misser of Spain had won Thursday\u2019s opening race in style but slipped to third in Friday&#8217;s ascent of the Brunni as Switzerland\u2019s Silvio B\u00fcsser took the win at high altitude. Another Spaniard, Ibon Zugasti, finished second. In the women\u2019s race Switzerland\u2019s legendary Esther S\u00fcss secured her second successive win, followed by Amber Stull (USA) and Alba Wunderlin (Switzerland).<\/p>\n<p>After a break to refresh and enjoy the spectacular scenery from the Brunnih\u00fctte, the riders lined up for Race 3 &#8211; a downhill time trial with riders departing at 30 second intervals. Remo Heutschi (Switzerland) managed to find the best route down the quick downhill course and took the top step of the men\u2019s podium ahead of Oliver Waser (Switzerland) and Marcel Odermatt from Engelberg an all Swiss podium.<\/p>\n<p>The women\u2019s race was won by Alba Wunderlin (Switzerland), ahead of Lee-Anne Palmhert (Namibia) and then the ageless Esther S\u00fcss. On Friday evening the riders were to face off in the \u201cRocky Eliminator\u201d on the floodlit<\/p>\n<p>Klostermatte. This race pits competitors against one another on a slalom downhill course. Saturday will see the riders head up to Tr\u00fcbsee, below the towering Titlis mountain, as they look to secure their finishers medal at the inaugural Snow Epic.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/snow-epic.com\/snowepic\/results\/\" target=\"_blank\">Results and the over all standings<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Downhill2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-80448\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Downhill2.jpg\" alt=\"Downhill2\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Uphill1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-80450\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Uphill1.jpg\" alt=\"Uphill1\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Uphill2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-80451\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Uphill2.jpg\" alt=\"Uphill2\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Press release] The inaugural Snow Epic changed tack sharply on its second day on Friday, introducing the more than 120 fatbikers to the steep slopes above Engelberg and testing both their climbing legs and their downhill skills.
