2016 Bulgarian Rookie Fest Cancelled

Unfortunately the Bulgarian resort of Pamporovo was forced to abandon the event, supposed to take place from March 15th to 17th, 2016. The luck of snow doens’t allow to build the slopestyle course: the Black Yeti is pretty angry about global warming!

2016 Transilvania Rookie Fest cancelled due to lack of snow

Unfortunately the Transylvanian resort of Arena Platos was forced to abandon the event, supposed to take place from February 5th to 7th, 2016. The luck of snow doens’t allow to build the slopestyle course: the Black Yeti is pretty angry about global warming!
