Ten years of Zillertal VÄLLEY RÄLLEY under the auspices of the Aestheticians' Snowboard Club. What started as a small, local snowboard tour is now one of the leading junior snowboard competitions in Europe. The Zillertal VÄLLEY RÄLLEY combines relaxed freestyle coaching with the Ästhetiker snowboard pros and first-class snowboard competitions linked to the international point system "World Snowboard Point List" and "World Rookie Ranking". Furthermore, all tour stops count as Austria Cups of the Austrian Snowboard Association. Further information on this can be found at http://www.powdern.com.
At each of the four tour stops, the participants also collect valuable points in the Zillertal VÄLLEY RÄLLEY overall tour ranking. And while the best participants of each individual event are honoured and celebrated with medals, prizes and prize money at the award ceremony, the crowning of the overall tour winners as the new "Kings and Queens of the Zillertal VÄLLEY" in all 8 age groups and categories takes place at the last tour stop on the Hintertux Glacier. Especially the Zillertal Tourismus GmbH, which unites all Zillertal mountain railways and the four tourism associations under one roof, has contributed significantly to the financing and implementation of the VÄLLEY RÄLLEY as title sponsor from day one.
Niklas Kramer, Managing Director of Zillertal Tourismus GmbH, is looking forward to this year's tour: "We can only congratulate the Välley Rälley on its 10th anniversary. Working with young people in winter sports is extremely important for us Zillertalers, so it is a great pleasure every year to welcome so many sporting talents here in the Zillertal. The tour start in December is an absolute highlight of the winter season and we wish all participants much success and all the best."
Loyal partners such as Ride Snowboards, Blue Tomato and Red Bull are also on board as active main supporters and advocates of the junior series. Last but not least, suppliers Horsefeathers and Dana Beanies will ensure many happy faces with great prizes and other benefits at all tour stops. Only with the joint support of all partners, as well as the support of the international snowboard federations of the World Snowboard Federation and Austrian Snowboard Association, could the Zillertal VÄLLEY RÄLLEY survive the past years. The event series offers young athletes a springboard into professional sport. And many a young participant in the first years has already earned his or her first medal at the Olympics or the Youth Olympic Games.
