Every beginning is tough, and this is especially true for the first steps in the world of freestyle. But when sunrays warm your face, nicely shaped obstacles surround you and many happy shredqueens are on-site, then, all of a sudden, it doesn’t feel so tough anymore, but insanely motivating. These ain’t empty phrases – again proven by the Girls Shred Session in Alta Badia. A truly perfect freestyle day full of women power went down at the heart of the Dolomites on March 2, 2019.

It’s true – at Blue Tomato Kings Park Hochkönig things are served in big portions. The playground’s bill of fare definitely lives up to its name, as the variety of obstacles lives up to a fair equivalent to a 51-course menu at the table of some European noble houses. Golden cutlery included. But this time, the King invited Karl Brandl and Felix Widnig for dinner who showed his majesty how it’s done.
