Haemmerle is remaining cautious about the competitions ahead, but his sights are set firmly on the end of the season, when the World Cup tour heads back to Montafon, just a week before the World Championships in Switzerland.“It’s pretty hard to put my hopes for the upcoming season into words. The heights are definitely the world championships and the home world cup in Montafon, so I just hope to be at 100 per cent there, which is the main focus for me,” he says.Montafon holds a special place in Haemmerle’s heart, and he says the venue is his favourite place to ride.“I just know the mountains so well and I know the conditions. I can’t wait for some deep snow. Pretty much the only thing I like more than riding snowboard cross is riding powder. I was really happy during the days at home when there was a lot of fresh snow,” he says, adding that being able to snowboard in Montafon during his rehabilitation was hugely motivating.
