Ariane Burri and Gian Andrea Sutter are the 2018 slopestyle Europa Cup title winners.

While Burri finished in third position of the final EC event, which was staged at Corvatsch (SUI) and also served as Swiss nationals last Wednesday, to secure the top spot of the Continental Cup's final ranking for the first time, a ninth rank was enough for Sutter to also earn his career's first EC title which equals a personal spot on next season's World Cup tour.

Burri, an 18-year-old shredder from Eschenbach, had been entering a total of five EC events placing on the podium every time – including a win in Vars (FRA) last January.

Pfaeffikon resident Sutter, only one year older, had won twice on this season's Europa Cup tour (Vars and Jasna; SVK) competing in a total of six contests. In addition, he brought home three top-10 finishes.
