It's glacier time
This weekend sees a number of Austrian glaciers opening for the season, with plenty of early season snow, things are looking promising.
Kaunertal
The 34th Kaunertal opening kicked off yesterday and runs until Sunday. You can test the latest gear, ride the amazing Naturerun, and get absolutely battered at the numerous parties going on.
Along with the park you can ride the 700 meters downhill slope from Karlesjoch to Ochsenalm-middle station
Kaprun
Thanks to the excellent snow conditions, the Glacier Park on the Kitzsteinhorn near Zell am See-Kaprun, Austria, will open on the 12th of October 2019 with a first set-up! The Glacier Park offers a creative set-up on the glacier plateau from the 12th of October 2019 until January 2020. On the obstacles of the Easy Kicker Line, Medium Kicker Line and Jib Lines, riders can practice new tricks and refine their existing skills. Head shaper Martin Liebmann and his experienced team stand for the world-class quality of this “Skatepark made of Snow” and the other snow parks at Kitzsteinhorn.
