In today’s training session, all riders tested the new contest location, located at the first part of the old snowpark. Set up is composed by 2 kickers in line, 1 multi kickers hip and a final jibbing area. Tomorrow it will be qualifications day for rookie boys and grom boys, two runs each. Friday should be qualifications for rookie girls and grom girls but, due the bad weather condition, every day the organizing committee will decide how to proceed further.

Beside the contest, the participants will have the fantastic opportunity to live a unique experience with a bunch of entertaining side activities: Insect Snak Workshop by Snak Insect, First Aid and Gummi Love Workshops, and Longboard Do it yourself Workshop by Ruffboards.

No fear, no hesitation… just one of them could be the next World Rookie Champion! So, sit back, relax and enjoy the snowboard teams demonstrate their skills at Ischgl Snowpark for another epic Völkl Word Rookie Finals!
