New "KTO format" on 2 weekends in autumn!15/16 October 2022 and 19/20 November 2022
The Kaunertal Glacier, i.e. the Kaunertal Snowpark, is once again taking a sustainable approach and adapting its opening concept to the well-known climate situation. This year the event will take place over 2 weekends. The kick-off is in mid-October with a fat "Jib'n'Playground Edition". Around a month later, part two of the opening will follow in mid-November with the "1st Kaunertal Testival Open & the Snowpark Days". Both weekends offer a fat programme with lots of "Cash4Tricks" and cool side events in the usual KTO manner. So this time - save both dates!
Under the motto "Enjoy the mountain with responsibility", the organisers around the renowned Kaunertal Opening thus continue their flexible, authentic and sustainable concept. The Kaunertal Glacier has been pursuing an economic path based on the careful use of natural resources for a long time. For many years, the Kaunertal Snowpark has been built on glacier-free ground from natural snow and old snow reserves. The focus is on a mindful approach to nature. The precipitation of the past winter was far from being comparable to that of previous years, which is why the opening concept is being adapted. The snow park will be built as soon as snow conditions allow. However, the season will traditionally be ushered in with the beloved snowboard and freeski scene in mid-October and a Jib Event Deluxe. Part two of the event series will then follow in November with the 1st Kaunertal Testival Open & the Snowpark Days. This adapted solution has met with enormous approval from the industry and all stakeholders and both events are definitely worth a trip to Kaunertal.
ib'n'Playground Edition Extended - 15 & 16 October 2022Withthe "Jib'n'Playground Edition Event" the Snowpark invites you this year with an "extended" version of the well-known Jib'n'Playground around the terrace of the glacier restaurant. As the name already suggests, the setup will be extended this year and equipped with several hike rail options, from session area to public lines. On top of that, all snowskate fans will get their money's worth with their own snowskate course. Decks are also available for hire, of course. If you bring your own, you're safe! It also makes sense to bring your skate board. A new small but very fine skate ramp will be built for the opening. The sessions will once again pour out "cash for tricks" in the usual manner. Among other things, 1,000 euros will be awarded at the "Sane Crew Opening Session presented by Soundboks" on Saturday. At the "Völkl Goodies & Cash for Tricks Session powered by Prime Skiing", 500 euros in cash will be given away to the riders, in addition to a host of prizes from Völkl. The riders can shred all day long on their own snowskate course. At the "Best Trick Snowskate Session incl. Dj Sundowner" the Saturday will end with great beats until the sun disappears behind the Weisseespitze.
The "best trick" continues on Sunday. At the "Downdays "500 Bucks" best Trick Session, no less than 500 euros will be paid out to the best trick. Never done before! Another highlight on Sunday will be the "Girls only" Cash 4 Trick Session by Shred Unit. The level of the girls' session was already enormous last year and it will be interesting to see how the session develops again this year. At the "Get your last cash mixed Sesh" powered by Templeton everyone can take part and collect the last pocket money for the journey home. All sessions are of course open to everyone. And if "Frau Holle" allows it, the Kaunertal Snowpark will of course be opened this weekend alongside these many shred options. After the last snowfalls in the mountains, the omens for this look good. There will also be a park - hell yeah!
1.Kaunertal Testival Open & Snowpark Days - 19 & 20 November 2022Thisis the title of part 2 of this year's opening series and behind it is the highlight event of the Kaunertal "Fallruns" with an enormous programme for everyone. The testival area directly at the entrance to the lift has always been unrivalled and will offer over 40 of the hottest brands in the snowboard and ski scene during the event weekend. Simply come to the accreditation with your ID and try out the dream set-up of the season. As a special promotion, all "test participants" will be entered into a draw for the unique "Win your favourite Test Kit" competition. This means that you can actually win your personal test kit as an early Christmas present. Open sessions will be held in the park on both days, and in addition to DJs at the test festival, there will also be cool side events this weekend such as yoga sessions on the mountain, a pump track course, skate ramp, balance board park and much more. To give you even more reasons to book the whole weekend, there will be a repeat of the Movie Premiere Night on Saturday evening in the valley with the hottest film premieres of the year. In addition to international films, the premiere of the "Gaptastic Voyage - Kaunertal Roadgap by Downdays" clip will also take place. Surely a "must see" of this year. And yes, the signs are good that there will also be an adequate party again. The certainly perfect conditions at the end of November invite you to test and/or simply go shredding for a weekend. So put this date in your diaries right away.
The quite plausible and authentic event concept change is to be welcomed and both event weekends offer an enormously strong programme. We as a medium will definitely be there.
