The SBX World Cup Montafon is a snowboard competition that takes place annually in Montafon in Vorarlberg (Austria) as part of the FIS Snowboard World Cup.
The competitions are held at Hochjoch in Schruns in the Silvretta Montafon ski area. The following disciplines have been carried out in Montafon so far: snowboard cross (SBX) and parallel slalom (PSL). The snowboard cross route is 980 meters long and the parallel slalom route is 280 meters long.
History Snowboarding was added to the FIS competition program in May 1994. The first Snowboard World Championship was held in 1996.
In the 2010/11 season, the Snowboard Cross World Cup was held in Lech am Arlberg, before it continued to be held in Montafon. There, the first Snowboard Cross World Cup took place in December 2012.
In December 2014, the snowboard cross had to be cancelled due to warm temperatures. Instead, a parallel slalom and mixed team competition were held. In 2018, snow production was impossible for the track, due to warm temperatures once again, so that year the snowboard cross had to be cancelled.
In the season 2020/21, due to policies regarding COVID-19, all races in Montafon (FIS Ski Cross Weltcup, FIS Snowboard Cross World Cup) had to be postponed to 15 and 16 January 2021, and later be cancelled completely.
