A big turn out to be crown the fastest of them all.

 

After the Saturday race, true to tradition, we were treated to a badass Volcom Castle Rock Out Party at Burg Kaprun with the church of mental enliBhtment and the shrine.
The raging night and snowing conditions didn’t allow the Sunday Chinese downhill but we enjoyed some bonus pow turns!
