Riders get ready for QParks Snowboard Tour 2018!

16 November 2017

As the biggest rookie contest series in the Alps, the QParks Snowboard Tour will once again live up to its name: At nine stops in four countries, the aspiring rookies gather not only important points for their moves but also first experience in the professional contest business. Under the eyes of internationally experienced judges, they will perform their best tricks – after all it’s also about cash and goodies worth a total of about 15.000€. Also the riders may qualify for the crowning finale – the “Game of Diamonds” – which will go down at Snowpark Obergurgl for the first time.

15 Years QParks – 8 Years Tour

“15 Years for Freestyle” – QParks is in party mode and celebrates a big anniversary this winter and that affects the QParks Snowboard Tour as well of course. In its eighth season of being an integral part of the QParks-agenda, the contest series will support ambitious shred-talents on their way to turning pro. During the winter of 2018, they will battle each other in nine slopestyle-contests in Italy, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The riders can always expect a nicely shaped set-up in which it’s all about impressing the judges in the categories Men, Women and Groms. The best moves will be rewarded with money prizes and goodies from Amplifi, QParks and Pinetime Clothing. Besides the battle for scores and rankings, the atmosphere is familiar as usual – just the way a sweet birthday party should go down.

Rankings, Cups & Points

Staying true to the Tour pays off because you can win worthy points for the overall-ranking at every QParks Tour Stop. Additionally, all snowboarders win points for the World Snowboard Points List and the World Rookie Rank. Also, the stops in Austria are part of the Austria Cup.

Thanks to its location at the Steinmannbahn and an extended set-up, it offers the ideal location for the final showdown. The girls-only shape crew of the snowpark is super stoked about the highlight in their park and the crowning finale of another shred- and shape season.
