TTR and WSF General Assembly 2009

fter a long and successful 2008/2009 season, that included amazing displays of how far the sport has progressed, the Swatch Ticket to Ride (TTR) World Snowboard Tour is proud to have two “new” Tour-Champions that have showed incredible consistency on all terrains and reflect the next level of freestyle snowboarding.

Peetu Piiroinen FIN — Men’s Swatch Ticket to Ride (TTR) World Tour Champion 2008/2009
Kelly Clark USA – Women’s Swatch Ticket to Ride (TTR) World Tour Champion 2008/2009

Building upon the success of last year’s Swatch Ticket to Ride (TTR) World Snowboard Tour yearly General Assembly in New York, this year’s General Assembly will move back to Europe once again. We cordially invite members, events, industry partners and representatives, as well as athletes and media to join this year’s General Assembly in Innsbruck, Austria on Friday, May 29 and Saturday, May 30, 2009 to discuss the current status and the future of competitive freestyle snowboarding.

The objective for the 2009 General Assembly is to provide more of an open forum then ever seen in the past for members, events, industry partners, athletes and media to work together to identify the healthiest direction for the TTR and the world of competitive freestyle snowboarding. New for 2009, the General Assembly of the World Snowboard Federation (WSF) will be held at the same time, allowing for direct exchange between attendants of both meetings.

During an Open and Closed Session (for TTR members only), the TTR General Assembly 2009 will review and evaluate the implementation, output and results of the 08/09 season and map out the direction for the 09/10 season.

Since you are all part of the TTR “movement” it is of prime importance that you attend the GA, to share your know how and visions during several organized workshops, so we all can work together to move freestyle snowboarding to even higher levels in 2009/2010.

Because this year’s General Assembly is happening in central Europe and because the World Snowboard Federation (TTR´s partner organisation) will be holding their General Assembly at the same time and location, we anticipate that this will be the largest group of snowboard event experts gathering in one spot for the very first time.

So don´t miss this opportunity to make a difference in the sport of snowboarding and come participate in this important event. We want to hear what you have to say!

We look forward seeing you in Innsbruck

Sincerely,

TTR Staff
