Hochkeil Banked 2018

The LIVINGROOM Crew is excited to announce the 4th edition of the Hochkeil Banked Slalom from Friday the 2nd until Sunday the 4th of February at the Hochkeil, a small resort which sits below the magnificent Hochkönig in Salzburgerland, Austria.

Yearly Peter and his keen team of shapers create a fun course from natural snow and crazy flow, which snakes its way around the Hochkeil’s varied terrain. With the event moving to February and with big snowfalls on the horizon, the course is set to be the best to date.

This grassroots event has attracted its fair share of snowboarding royalty over the years, including Olympic gold medallist Nicola Thost, Austrian back-to-back Air & Style winner, Stefan Gimpl or the all time Legends Jeff Brushie and Peter Bauer. Hansjörg Unterrainer and Mario Fuchs, both Olympic boardercross athletes, will also be taking a lap of the WSF Banked Slalom Tour sanctioned course, hoping to add points to their tour tally. And there’s an enormous prize purse for the winners – not only fort he fastest but specially fort he average time!

The weekend isn’t just about racing. A range of test boards will be at the event free of charge on Saturday. Evening entertainment at the Hochkeilhaus is a chilled affair, a great opportunity to catch-up with old friends and make new ones.
