Another day at the office
Build-up series from the QParks world!
03.01.2019

Winter 2018/19 is in full swing, most of the snow parks in the QParks universe are ready to shred and finally we can shout again: Park laps all day long! But it’s not a natural phenomenon that massive jumps and jibs pop up on the mountain. No, this needs lots of (wo)manpower. Our field staff armada from the Shape Academy works on the mountain day’n’night during the cold season.

They start with a preparation period including spray painting and polishing the features. Then the actual construction process of the QParks follows. Tons of snow are pushed for the jumps before our shapers start with the fine tuning. The first step is finding the ideal location for rails, boxes, tubes etc. followed by hours of shoveling. Eventually, the shapers smoothly place the obstacle. Now it’s time for the cherry on the cake: the shapers are the lucky ones to test out the park. Enjoying airtime in a freshly shaped park in the light of a beautiful sunset? This is not just a dream when the QPark is your home office.

Snowpark Schöneben represents a prime example for a smooth and fluent setup process - year by year. Freestylers and park crew are always looking forward to the tons of snow at “Reschensee” because the excessive snowfall guarantees a huge setup very early in the season.

Here we would like to show you a Vimeo video.

The same work and effort are put into Superpark Planai – two words which hit the nerve of every freeskier and snowboarder. With the help of sharp shape tools and powerful snowcats by PRINOTH, the crew again performed highly precise work. After the winter start, the category XL park in Schladming is looking forward to more jibs and jumps now.

Anyway, the current conditions with tons of fresh pow have our crews shovel their hands of in order to keep our QParks in shape. If you wanna stay up to date, better follow us on Instagram and Facebook.
