Shoot Your Friends: Week 2

For the third year running, The Gasthof Zillertal organizes the Shoot Your Friends Video Competition. A video competition for all the riders in the Zillertal Valley. A competition to show an insider’s look of the life of a snowboarder. the riding, the partying, the drama and the good life. Over a period of 6 weeks, a team of 4 friends will go out and capture their life, with weekly assignments given by the Gasthof-Zillertal to spice things up.

3 years ago, Jim Healy (Gasthof-Zillertal Bar Manager at the time) and Jan Glas (Gasthof-Zillertal General Manager) sat down and came up with the idea to organize this competition. Wanting to show the world the life and lifestyle of a snowboarder during the winter season. They molded the idea into a competition over a 6 week period. To make things even more interesting weekly assignments were made up that had to be included. Some assignments were riding related, some were lifestyle related and some were just straight up funny. And that’s exactly what they wanted to see, the humour and creativity of snowboarding !


WEEK 2 of the SHOOT YOUR FRIENDS competition has been launched.
