As a resort one thing should be clear to you by now: If you want a good park and need an army of people bang the drums for your events – QParks is your one-stop shop for everything. Or would you say the Kitzsteinhorn does anything wrong these days?

True to the slogan “We can’t get enough of this winter!”, the last big freestyle showdown of the season is ready to be kicked off at the Snowpark Kitzsteinhorn. Numerous snowboarders will once again pull out their best tricks at this slopestyle contest and demonstrate what they have learnt this season under the strict eyes of professional judges. Needless to say, a freshly shaped snowpark is ready for action!

Attention! No reason to put away your snow gear yet, as on April 16th and 17th all freestyle lovers can expect one last big event in the Snowpark Kitzsteinhorn. For this occasion park designer Stefan Plattner and his crew will pimp the Central Park once more in order to guarantee optimum conditions for all shredders. Participation definitely pays, as not only a prize money of € 4.000,- is given away but also fancy goodies from NITRO and SUBWAY with a total value of € 2.000,-.

Saturday: Snowboard Day

On Saturday the snowboarders will kick off the event (whereas the freeskiers will ruin the snowpark on Sunday) “I’m already looking forward to the Kitzsteinhorn RIDE ON, especially to the big kickers and the massive corner in the Central Park. I’m sure we gonna see loads of sick tricks there!”, says snowboarder Lisa Veith.
