COMING UP: BANKED SLALOM PRESENTED BY JONES SNOWBOARDS AT AXAMER LIZUM (AUT)

EVENT TYPE

Banked Slalom

The snake run is back in Innsbruck! It’s that time again: Banked Slalom, this year presented by Jones Snowboards for the first time, invites you to ride together at Axamer Lizum on Saturday, March 16, 2024. After the successful event last winter, the popular format for young and old is returning and will focus on the passion for shredding together in the banks. Although there are age categories, the focus is on the shared experience for snowboard enthusiasts.

 

The most original discipline combines the roots of snowboarding, surfing and skateboarding in one “ride”. The popularity of this spirit was already proven at last year’s Banked Slalom in the Axamer Lizum with over 120 starters. Snowboarders from young to old, male and female, with snowskates or regular snowboards, took part in the popular “snake run”.

 

An adrenaline-charged ride through the steep bends.

 

The challenge in banked slalom is to negotiate the manually “shaped” banked turns as quickly as possible. Even though the tracks become deeper and deeper as the race progresses due to the frequent use of the banked turns, it is important to find the optimal line. In various age categories, participants have the opportunity to compete with like-minded people and put their skills to the test. The Banked Slalom presented by Jones Snowboards offers a platform for everyone, from the youngest to the most experienced, in some cases former professional riders. In addition to the individual categories, there will once again be the unique and popular family classification, which allows parents and their children to compete side by side and take on the challenge of the Banked Slalom together. This special classification underlines the family character of the event and promotes togetherness across generations.

 

 

Axamer Lizum provides stage for Banked Slalom presented by Jones Snowboards

 

Only a few kilometers away from Innsbruck and perfectly accessible by public transport, the Axamer Lizum offers the ideal terrain for the Banked Slalom presented by Jones Snowboards. Not far from the slopes, there are perfect terrain structures as the basis for the “snake run”. The contest is framed at the start and finish area by great DJ sounds, moderation and casual “chill-out flair”.

 

With a mixture of competitive spirit and shared enthusiasm, the Banked Slalom presented by Jones Snowboards promises to be an unforgettable experience for participants and spectators alike. However, if you want to be there, you should hurry, as the coveted tickets usually sell out quickly.
