Life

Sigi Grabner's parents' house is very thoughtful .

With the title win of the Junior World Championship in Slovenia in 1994 , Grabner decided to practice his sport professionally. The title at the European Championships in Finland in 1995 opened the doors for him to the Burton Alpine team. In his favorite discipline, the parallel slalom, he won the world championship title at the home world championship in 2003 at Kreischberg and the bronze medal in Whistler Mountain in 2005 .

In the summer of 2003 Grabner wrote a book entitled “Boarder Between the Worlds”. Another project was the development of our own snowboards. The SG Snowboards by Sigi Grabner have been available in three versions since autumn . He won the Olympic bronze medal in Turin on his Torino raceboard. He ended his career after the 2013/14 season.

Grabner lives in La Massana in the small state of Andorra .
