Sick Trick Tour Kids Coaching

28^th of January 2018 in the Kitzbüheler Horn Snowpark

Let kids rule the world <3! The snowparks at Kitzbüheler Horn are shining in a new light with an Audi Quattro fun slope and a family park that makes the heart of shred happy kids beat a little faster. In combination with the opening of the park, the Sick Trick Tour set up a STT stamp treasure hunt and park coaching for the youngsters. Max Kogler (KSC freeski trainer) and David Köck from Waildring were on site to share information about park rules and to give all freestyle beginners some helpful technique tips. Over 150 kids took part in the event and enjoyed a fun-filled day in the Kitzbüheler Horn snowpark. The stamp treasure hunt had nearly 200 participants and they were awarded with STT medals as well as an abundance of other prizes.

Sick Trick Tour Finals

Naturally, the STT final in Waidring will be seen as a part of the World Snowboard Tour, the World Rookie Rank, the Austrian Snowboard Masters and Freeski Austria Ranking.

STT prize money and various other prizes at a value of over € 8.000 will be up for grabs, courtesy of Sick Trick Tour partners Blue Tomato, Lib Tech, TVB Kitzbühel, Pillerseetal/Kitzbüheler Alpen/Steinplatte, the Kitzbühel & Steinplatte Bergbahnen and many others.
