Para-Snowboard World Cup at 2017 Audi quattro Winter Games NZ

The return of para snowboarding to the 2017 Audi quattro Winter Games NZ, with the inclusion of a World Cup Banked Slalom at Treble Cone near Wanaka for the first time, is being hailed by elite New Zealand Paralympian Carl Murphy as a coup for the sport.

Black Yeti is very excited to announce the 2017 World Rookie Tour, including his first shows in Kaprun for the legendary World Rookie Finals!

World Rookie Tour kicked off August 21st in Chile and will stretch through April hitting some of the best ski resorts all over the world like Corvatsch, for the second year in a row, Livigno and Monte Bondone for the main youth snowboarding events in Italy, Arena Platos in Romania, Pamporovo in Bulgaria, Nekoma in Japan and Seven Springs in US. The last stop of the year will take us to Kaprun, Austria, for the first time. World Rookie Final has expanded to include both slopestyle and halfpipe contests in order to awards the new World Rookie and Grom Champions.

Corvatsch is ready to host the second edition of the Corvatsch Rookie Fest scheduled from 15th to 18th December 2016. Following last year’s success, the World Rookie Tour stop will go down in Switzerland at the amazing Corvatsch Snowpark.

Ski and Snowboarding Foundation Nepal

After the devastating earthquake which hit Nepal in 2015, Nepali students and mountain guides initiated the Ski and Snowboarding Foundation Nepal.

The objective was to bring something attractive to the remote valley areas which would allow to bring something positive and empowering to some of the areas which badly suffered and to build up a mid term perspective to introduce skiing and snowboarding in an area which was dominated by a limited season of climbing and mountain hiking.

WORLD SNOWBOARD DAY 11th EDITION!

World Snowboard Day, the largest Snowboarding Event in the world, returns after ten years held in December with a new mid-season date. The impact of climate change and the unfortunate lack of early season snowfall are major factors that influenced this decision. The countdown has begun, 80 days to go until we enter the next decade of the original globally held on-snow event: World Snowboard Day.

Join us on January 22 2017 to celebrate the 11th edition of World Snowboard Day

Sun and warm temperatures welcomed enthusiastic spectators to ModenaFiere to witness the first urban rail contest in the history of the World Rookie Tour. Set up was definitely one of the Europe’s best urban rail set in the last years, designed and built by the wise shapers of F-tech Company based in South Tyrol.

World Rookie Tour has rarely been easy, mainly thanks to the presence of all the best youth events across the world, but for the 2017 the Black Yeti has decided to raise the bar and reach another goal: to improve the tour that already represents a benchmark on the snowboarding youth competitions, implementing a new format and location for the end of season 2017 World Rookie Finals.
