Four races, four different modes. Spread over three days, the race at the Winter Park ski resort in the US state of Colorado promises fast races and less fatigue for the riders, and rightly so. The thin air at the starting points, which are up to 3,400 meters high, sometimes leaves the racers quite out of breath. Frenchman Jérôme Clementz and Brit Tracey Moseley are the fastest of the first day. René Wildhaber shows flashes of brilliance with his fifth place. The fastest Swiss woman is Anita Gehrig in sixth place. Just behind her is her twin sister in eighth place.

On the second day, technical problems arose with the chairlift that was supposed to ride the racers to the start. After some delay, the race starts for half stage 3a. Clementz rode the fastest time, while his closest rival Jared Graves (AUS) was no longer able to intervene in the decision for victory despite his second place on the stage. A defect threw the Australian far back. Wildhaber defends his fifth intermediate place. Graves takes the fastest time again in stage 3b.
In the women's race, Tracey Moseley (GBR) and Anne Caroline Chausson (FRA) take it in turns to win the stages. Moseley is able to ride further ahead than Chausson and therefore leads the intermediate classification. Anita Gehrig loses one place in the intermediate classification.

On the third and final day, there is only one stage left, in which Graves once again rides the fastest time. In the final classification, the Australian still manages 23rd place. Thanks to his consistent performance, one stage win is enough for Jérôme Clementz to snatch victory. Nicolas Vouilloz also records a stage win, which puts the downhill legend in second place. René Wildhaber once again rides the fifth fastest time to secure fifth place. Ludovic May is 23rd after the three days of racing.

The final stage of the women's race also goes to Chausson. However, Moseley rides the more consistent stage times and therefore takes first place in the final standings. Anneke Beerten from the Netherlands came third. Despite setting the fifth fastest time in the final stage, Anita Gehrig was unable to reclaim sixth place. Although she is only four seconds off the pace, she is extremely satisfied with her seventh place. Carolin Gehrig is unable to make up the ground she lost on the second day and finishes twelfth. A considerable disappointment for the 26-year-old, who was eighth after the first day of racing. Lorraine Truong from Romande fared similarly. After finishing seventh in the first stage, she was no better than twelfth in the following stages. Truong finished thirteenth in the final standings.

The fifth round of the Enduro World Series will take place in the freeride mecca of Whistler (CAN) during the "Crankworx" festival.
