It’s been way too long, Penken Park!
The season 2020/21 has finally arrived!
22.12.2020

2020 is coming to an end. And even though no one will miss this year, the end of it brings something amazing: snow! The mountains of Mayrhofen in the Zillertal have been covered in white gold over and over again in the last few weeks and left us dreaming of an early start of the season in the Penken Park.

This could be by far the best season yet – best meaning by 1.5 meters away from each other. Sorry for the trashy pun, but of course you also have to follow some safety rules in the Penken Park this season., You can find these on the website of the Mayrhofner Bergbahnen. The reason is obvious but enough about this topic, social distancing should not be a problem on the massive kicker line in the Penken Park. And of course, it's coming back this winter. A job for park groomer Steff Morocutti, who was already the mastermind behind the enormous jumps the past seasons. Park designer Norbert Benauer is responsible for the entire masterpiece. The playground in Mayrhofen has been bearing Norbert's signature for several years now and will be creative and beastly again in 2020/21.

Penken Park Team

Not only the Shape Crew works on the highest level in Mayrhofen, also the Penken Park Team keeps impressing. Werni Stock, Tom Tramnitz, Alex Walch, Mario Wanger and Simo Peltola are once again sending in the name of the Penken Park - as we all know, that's what they do best. On the @penkenpark Instagram channel you can find a bunch of proof for that.

Here we would like to show you a Vimeo video.

Freestyle snowboarding and skiing require much more than just physical skills. While technique, timing, and body control are essential, the mental aspect is often the decisive factor when it comes to learning new tricks. A strong mindset helps you overcome obstacles, make continuous progress, and handle challenges effectively. Here’s how you can specifically improve your "mental game."

From shaping the park’s features to snapping the perfect shot for Instagram and Facebook, Eliska combines her passion for snow and storytelling. We caught up with her to get a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s really like to be a Multimedia Shaper in a snowpark.

“It was back in the 90s. We were fanatic snowboarders, constantly roaming the surrounding hills, building kickers wherever possible. Bad Religion and NOFX were blasting from our battery-powered cassette player. With our camcorder, shovels and boozy tea we had everything we needed and it was a damn awesome time.” 

Around 70 contestants, perfect weather and breathtaking tricks in a beautiful setup - all this was combined at this year's Plan P. Here you can find the most important information and results of Plan P 2025!
