22.01.2012Snowpark Kitzsteinhorn – Fulfilling Every Freestyle Wish!
There’s hardly a snowpark that offers more freestyle action than the Snowpark Kitzsteinhorn! Apart from the Easy Park and Austria’s biggest Superpipe, as of now the Central Park additionally makes freeskiers and snowboarders jump with joy! As befits a proper opening, we’ve had a good long look at the park paradise at a shooting. Freeski pro Markus Obwaller and snowboard crack Stephan Wimmer told us just what it is that makes the Snowpark Kitzsteinhorn stand out!
Every day, hundreds of freestyle fans swarm the Easy Park and Central park, in order to enjoy the tons of freestyle fun the Snowark Kitzsteinhorn has to offer. Among them six freestyle pros enjoyed a sunny day on the mountain at an unwound shooting on location, in order to put the setup to the test! In a short interview, two of them told us what the shooting was like and what sets the Kitzsteinhorn apart.
Markus, you’ve been a passionate freeskier for 5 years now and frequently pay the Snowpark Kitzsteinhorn a visit! What is the Snowpark Kitzsteinhorn to you?
The range of obstacles in the Snowpark Kitzsteinhorn suits everyone: no matter if it’s a fun jib or a great kicker! What’s also cool is that from the Easy Park to the Central Park you can shred 9 obstacles in a row, which gives you the chance to try out heaps of tricks!
As a pro, I’m sure you expect a sophisticated park setup. Stephan, would you recommend the Kitzsteinhorn to other snowboarders?
As I just said, there’s no other park in Austria that offers such varied lines. There’s also a perfect superpipe and easy jumps, followed by great rails and two lines with two kickers of different sizes each in the Central Park! The whol park area faces south and sensibly shaped, so even a critic like me can’t do anything but praise the park. ;-)
Which obstacle in the Central Park did you like best at the shooting?
Apart from the weather and the atmosphere which were smashing as always, to me the kickers are the highlight in the park! I think I had most fun on the Roller in the Pro Line. You don’t often find such a great variation of a kicker!
On the Snowpark Kitzsteinhorn webpage the whole setup is being updated on a daily basis. What’s more, you can also download our free Snowpark Kitzsteinhorn iPhone App, in order to always stay up do date!
