As is well known the greatest joy is in the anticipation. So imagine the days getting shorter and the summer fading away. After a rainy day the mountain tops are covered in snow and automatically freeskier’s and snowboarder’s hearts start beating faster when thinking of the upcoming winter season.

Rightly so... because work is already in progress on giving you a bombastic season opening at the Snowpark Kaunertal. A party program with the most exciting movie premieres, live bands and DJ’s, a testival with the newest stuff of the season up for free testing, a relaxed rail session, contests for pros and amateurs, open park action for all those, who don’t care for contests and more sideevents for your entertainment... so enjoy the anticipation and save the date:
