After months of preparation, it is only days before the Snow Epic, which takes place on January 14 to 18, 2015. Even though the Alps have received little snowfall the past few months, the Snow Epic host village, Engelberg, has received more than 10 cm of snow this past weekend.

Race founder Kevin Vermaak, who first dreamed up the idea behind Europe’s first winter fatbike festival while on holiday in Engelberg a year ago, said from the Alps town: “The conditions will be great when the racing starts on Thursday. Everything is now in place for a fantastic and fun event.”
