Dear Event Organizers and NSAs!

WORLD SNOWBOARDING is the sport’s global ranking and calendaring platform regarding all about freestyle snowboarding. Riders, event organizers, National Associations, industry, and media utilize the World Snowboarding Points Lists (WSPLs), the global event schedule, as well as the information services and sports database. Worldsnowboarding.org is the home for all freestyle snowboarding events and athletes.

Due to the challenges the present Covid-19 situation puts on the entire snowboarding community, we want to offer some support. To keep the spirit alive and get the most out of this season as possible, we decided to waive all event fees. 

 

Please confirm your event dates for the global event schedule on worldsnowboarding.org:

Competition results from each event on the World Snowboarding event schedule will be included in the World Snowboarding Points Lists (WSPL). The WSPL’s are the World Rankings of freestyle snowboarding and are widely used for seeding, team selections, athlete entry, national quotas, performance tracking, and LTAD programs.

From December through April, the Ästhetiker will be lining up the Billabong presents: Zillertal Välley Rälley hosted by Ride Snowboards with four stops all across the Zillertal again. The Zillertal Välley Rälley has become the most popular snowboard amateur series in Austria and offers great site events for all snowboard fans. The first tour stop will be kicking off at Hochzillertal Kaltenbach just before Christmas.

Registration will be open on December 1st at www.valleyralley.at.

The Billabong presents: Zillertal Välley Rälley hosted by Ride Snowboards is four weekends filled with world-class snowboard fun for everyone. The program includes everything from free freestyle coaching for all age groups to an open snowboard slopestyle contest for all men, women and kids.
Along with that, Ride Snowboards will have their latest boards and bindings to demo for free and a fun Limbo/High-ollie session at all tourstops. The highly coveted Billabong Best Trick award will be up for grabs at all events and the winner can look forward to a complete Billabong Outerwear kit. The contest winners will be awarded with great applause, glory and the infamous Ästhetiker medals that will be given out by the president Steve Gruber himself.
