RASCHAU/MONTAFON, September 20, 2013 - The montage of the approach track on the HS108 slopes was completed in record time.

'It is very pleasant to work with Riedel,' says Elmar Egg, the managing director of the Montafon Nordic Sportzentrum GmbH. 'It is a very competent company that is rightly recognized in the international ski jumping scene.' Egg notes that the concrete work was completed to within eight millimeters, 'which is why Riedel could set up the approach track faster than planned. His employees did a great job!','t15':'Four days of assembly – that’s a speed record!','t16':'Exterior shot with landscape and sky'}}}```sha0f9```/` (Note: The content for t11 contains multiple sentences; translated into a cohesive English string.

The jump facility will officially be opened in the summer of 2014. Riedel and Egg hope for some early jumps this winter. 'Let's see how the weather develops in autumn and the related work opportunities,' Egg remains cautious.
