In the Betterpark Hochzillertal the new snowpark season starts with the second Zillertal Välley Rälley Tourstop on December 20th 2014. Popular for it´s own park lift and perfectly shaped obstacles, the park at Hochzillertal-Kaltenbach offers a great freestyle playground with seven jumps from beginner to pro range and a great variety of jib obstacles for all riding levels. Kicking off in December 2014, the snowpark will be open throughout the season until late April 2015. All info and updates can be found on www.betterparks.at and www.hochzillertal.com.

As for every tourstop, the registration of the free freestyle coaching sessions will be open at www.valleyralley.at until the 18th of December 2014. After Thursday before the event, the registration will be completely closed. The second Zillertal Välley Rälley hosted by Ride Snowboards tourstop will kick off on the 20th of December with a Coaching Day. In small groups and according to their individual riding level, participants will be shredding the brand-new Betterpark Hochzillertal setup together with their coaches Steve Gruber, Friedl Kolar and Chris Kroell. Whether you are participating in the event or not, on both event days Ride Snowboards will demo their latest snowboards and bindings in the park for all guests of the resort for free.

Sunday´s snowboard slopestyle contest will be all about the best performance and collecting of pre-christmas presents. Snowboarders of all age groups and riding levels will give their best to impress the judges and get rewarded by Välley Rälley Santa Claus with tons of medals, prize money and mad-prizes from Ride Snowboards, Vans, Red Bull, GoPro and SP Gadgets. “Vans Baby Jesus” will endow the best trick winner with a complete street wear kit from Vans.

All four tour stops will have their own podium and riders will score points for the overall ranking. At the forth and final event, the overall winners will be confirmed and crowned prince, princess, duke, king and queen of the välley. As a part of the N.ASA Austria Cups the tour winners will qualify for the N.ASA Shred Down Austrian Masters Slopestyle National Championships and the overall rookie winner will get a spot for the World Rookie Finals 2015.
