Hotzone.TV Opening 2012 Gallery

After a saying a sad goodbye to summer we reunited with Hintertux glacier like old friends at the HotzoneTV Park Opening. The excitement was bubbling, with a fine blend of serious face tanning, slush riding, board-related madness, goofy talks and brand awareness for days. Also, I hugged the liftie for doing the best job in the world, he was doing it for the community. I hope maybe one day we will be united and our love won’t be divided. I'll miss you, Mr. Liftie! Thanks to snowboarding and Hintertux for existing because our weekend was most excellent!
