Fieberbrunn, Austria
Introduction
Fieberbrunn is a rather strange tale in terms of its popularity with snowboarding. It's not a high resort, nor is Fieberbrunn an adventurous place, and most good riders will have had enough after three or four days. The area lies in a natural snow pocket receiving 50% more snow than nearby Kitzbuhel over a course of a season. Fieberbrunn has never really attracted tour operators, the result being that the slopes are mainly inhabited by either locals or their cousins from Germany. Like most resorts, the well-prepared slopes do have busy periods (mainly at weekends and holidays). A couple of years ago Fieberbrunn was the main attraction for riding the Halfpipe, they even had a Halfpipe Worldcup and you could session it till 11pm every night. The resort started caring less about it, shaping it very occasionally and eventually it was removed and a few baron years followed. The 2005/6 season they built the Lord of the Boards Park situated at the top of the Streuboden gondola.
