Italian WRT Events postponed to 2022

Coronavirus pandemic has caused many events around the world to be postponed due to a country's government imposed restrictions; unluckily World Rookie Fest in Livigno, Italy, is one of them and the next edition is postponed to January 2022.

“After 16 great editions of this iconic youth snowboard event, we are really sad to announce that the 2021 World Rookie Fest will not take place.” Stated Marco Sampaoli from the event organization. “We don’t feel safe and fair to run our oldest and largest event in a reduced edition with many limitations to follow and together with Livigno and Mottolino Snowpark we decided to postpone the 17th edition to January 2022.”

Ursus Rookie Fest 2021 cancelled
Due to the Covid emergency, the most of the Italian ski resorts are not open yet, including Madonna di Campiglio, where the 2021 Ursus Rookie Fest was scheduled. The event is officially postponed to next season, the new date will be announced soon. We hope to be back to you soon with better news and we remind you to check the WRT calendar for all the other stops all around the world.
