The PenkenPark in Mayrhofen is the ‘home park’ of the Ästhetiker Snowboard Crew. As one of the most popular freestyle parks in the Zillertal, it is also one of the top 5 snow parks in Europe.

Depending on weather conditions, the competition will take place on Saturday or Sunday, with coaching and Penken FunCross Battle on the other day. The Ästhetiker crew will announce the final schedule by Thursday before the event. On both days, Blue Tomato will be catering for the well-being of all participants in the Riders Lounge with free hot dogs, snacks and drinks. With the third of four contest results, the tension in the VÄLLEY RÄLLEY Overall Ranking will finally rise in Mayrhofen.
