Park Opening // Hintertux - DAY 1

Hintertux Glacier if officially shreddable as we speak and damn does it look like a wild time! If you are in the area and hopefully getting some slashes in, the Method Movie Euro tour will be having their first showing tonight!
 
Press Release -
Blue Skies, a perfectly shaped snow park and the best boards by the hottest snowboard brands available for free test-rides - Hintertux and hotzone.tv open the snowboard season 2016 / 17 with a bang!

First things first: The Betterpark Hintertux is a pristine piece of snow and rail architecture! Trust the pros, they know. Werni Stock, Clemens Millauer, Marco Grilc, Mario Käppeli, Simon Pircher, Peter Sandner and Michi Schatz were taking laps with a smile while challenging rookies backside 900°, corked 1080°, backlip and the hardway. The rookies response to this challenge? Yes please! When considering that the groundworks for the comp-season to come are to be layed down in this time of the year, we can expect an amazing Slopestyle Comp Scene in 2017.

Also worth mentioning: Cameo appearances of snowboard legends such as Sani Alibabic. Sani left technical difficulties to the kids and focused on his core competency. You cannot buy style, but you can watch Sani doing back fives and methods in order to get the idea. It will be amazing to see the rest of the Ästhetiker crew join Sani tomorrow, inspire kids while running the GoPro Kids Shoot and pop out a few airs themselves. Just think Steve Gruber, Wolle Nyvelt, Friedl Kolar... Nice!

What else: There was absolutely no wind! Hence tanning was an option at the Tuxer Fernerhaus and so was the process of delicately evaluating riding prospects for future mountain and in-city winter adventures also known as board-check. Testrides by your favorite snowboard brands were on and for free. So bring a passport as pawn in case you want to meet your future wife or husband at the hotzone.tv Hintertux Opening.
