On the morning of the 26th the lucky winner will ride the Galzigbahn to the top with a glass of champagne and canapés to hand before becoming the first skier to ski the piste and officially open the season to all.
The celebrations will continue with the Ö3 Mountainmania party kicking off on Saturday at 5pm and the chance to try out the hottest new trends for free during three days of testing for the new season's ski and snowboard equipment.
