2017 Banked Slalom Features

Gummi Love Banked Slalom Stoos: Back to the Roots!

On March 18th, 2017, the 2nd annual GummiLove Banked Slalom will be held on the Klingenstock. In this vintage discipline of snowboarding it’s not about competition, above everything it’s about snowboarding and enjoying the sport we love. Following the main event you are invited to join us and celebrate!

Snowboarding in its most original form in an original place – this is the GummiLove Banked Slalom on Stoos. This official tour stop of the World Snowboard Federation will take place for the second time this year. Approximately 100 contestants shredded down the natural giant slalom terrain last year. The event founder, Daniel ´Gummi` Rietmann states, “This route is unique. The guys from Shredisfaction will do their best to ensure that everybody is experiencing a moment of pure happiness here.

a3_banked_slalom_2017_def3A Spectacle for Spectators
At Stoos, people of all ages will meet for a snowboard festival on Saturday. Whether you´re a devoted shredder, or just a curious bystander, here, people of all types have one thing in common, to have fun. And such fun is guaranteed with not only the race, but the award ceremony and cozy get-together afterwards.

After party with DJ Skor
As the sun goes down, if you are still in a festive mood, come to the Klingenkeller bar, where the reknowned DJ Skor will be laying down his own fresh tracks. Take advantage of the cable car at 02:15 down to Schlattli and onwards with the bus to the train station in Schwyz. A perfect end to the day!

Hosted by Shredisfaction
Beni Plüss from the Shredisfaction Snowpark Stoos is looking forward to the upcoming event: “In its 9-year history, the snowpark has developed into a major player in the freestyle scene of Central Switzerland. For the GummiLove Banked Slalom, the snowpark team is prepared with 15 people contributing a variety of material and experience to the event.

Just 40 Minutes Away
The Stoos winter sports area is centrally located and can be reached quickly from Zurich, Luzerne, and Zug. From all three cities you are only 40 minutes away from the valley at the Stoos Mountain Station. Following a short, and scenic ride, you arrive to the alpine plateau, where the GummiLove Banked Slalom will be hosted for the second time.

Social Brand GummiLove
GummiLove offers the message for a healthy and safe sexuality: playful, casual, and honest. The social brand is involved in freestyle sports, music, and art. GummiLove is financed by its own products, events, and sponsors.

Spring Battle 2017 Upgrades to WST Elite Level

For 16 years, the Spring Battle has been all about creativity and fun, which is one of the reasons why well-known riders from Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand keep coming back to the perfectly shaped Absolut Park in Flachauwinkl year after year to take part in the relaxed jam session at the end of the season.

2017, both the World Snowboard Tour and the Association of Freeskiing Professionals upgraded the event to a WST Elite Level Event and an AFP Gold Event. The men’s top 40 and women’s top 10 in the WST and AFP ranking will have a save spot at Spring Battle, so a number of high-class athletes will definitely be taking part in the contest again. Still, anyone who feels like challenging international contest riders and riding the demanding setup is welcome — the event is open for all, men, women, freeskiers and snowboarders.

Riders love the follow cam jam session format of the Slopestyle contest. Follow cam what?… No worries, it’s easy to explain: Just team up with a buddy or filmer, film each other’s runs for a couple of days until you capture a good one on video, and hand in the uncut video for judging. The team constellation is totally open, anyone can team up and even mixed teams are allowed. Creativity and style are the key factors for a good score, not the filming technique, and the contest will be judged in four categories: snowboard men and women as well as freeski men and women.

Even though the Spring Battle has the vibe of an easygoing jam session, the prize money is worth 70.000 US dollars, so taking part definitely pays off! As the number of participants is limited, we highly recommend you to sign up and transfer the entry fee until March 4, 2017, to get one of the open spots.

For more information about the Spring Battle 2017 and the Absolut Park, head to the WST Spring Battle profile or to www.absolutpark.com.
