"Switzerland's Mathilde Gremaud opened the 2025-26 FIS Freeski Park & Pipe World Cup season with a victory at the Stubai Slopestyle World Cup in Austria on Saturday, November 22. Unfortunately, her victory was somewhat anti-climactic as the finals for Saturday had to be canceled due to high winds and instead Thursday's qualification results were used to determine the standings. In addition, the weather forced organizers to cancel the men's event entirely, with qualifications scheduled for Friday and finals for Saturday."
"Gremaud, the reigning Olympic slopestyle champion and two-time world champion, had topped qualifying with an 81.92, securing the win once the finals were called off. "It feels like half a win, for sure, but it still counts," she said. "We had really good qualifications and it was a really good vibe. I'm happy that I could handle the beginning of the season.""

Gusty conditions canceled Saturday finals and forced cancellation of the men's event. Gremaud topped qualifying with an 81.92 and called the result "half a win" while praising the vibe. Her run featured a right bio 900 leading tail grab, switch left 720 mute, switch right 270 to forward, rail maneuvers, a wallride, and a finishing left 270 to forward. Olivia Asselin was second and Anni Karava third; Grace Henderson and Marin Hamill qualified.
