Snowpark Gastein – Shred it like Pongau!
23.10.2017

The shape crew of the Snowpark Gastein recently returned from their summer trips to several surf spots and bike trails around the world and the guys are now impatiently waiting to kick off the winter season 2017/18. At the moment, the shapers are killing time with repairing and painting rails and boxes as well as welcoming the brand-new mushroom jib and the new flat tube – and with praying for an early start into the second decade at the Snowpark Gastein!

Last season, the Snowpark Gastein celebrated its 10th anniversary and soon we are going to shred into the 11th winter at the Stubnermulde. Whether you are from Salzburg, Munich, Oslo, Copenhagen or Uppsala – join the freestyle scene when it flocks together again at the Snowpark Gastein to enjoy this season’s creative setup.

Both groms and pros will once again be pleased with the planned setup of the Beginner Line, the Medium Line and the Advanced Area. The shape crew will use all its creativity to put the new mushroom jib and the extra flat tube inspiringly into the snow. Where will the new features land exactly? This question is going to be answered by the team very precisely and in real-time…

…with several rad videos from the construction work! A film crew is going to capture the setting up from the very first second the shapers start with their work. The footage will reach us in no time via Facebook and Instagram so that we all know when it is time to pilgrimage to the Stubnerkogel again. Because no one wants to miss a single run after the season start, right!?

Freestyle snowboarding and skiing require much more than just physical skills. While technique, timing, and body control are essential, the mental aspect is often the decisive factor when it comes to learning new tricks. A strong mindset helps you overcome obstacles, make continuous progress, and handle challenges effectively. Here’s how you can specifically improve your "mental game."

Eliska isn’t your typical shaper in the snowpark. Along with shaping obstacles in the Sölden Snowpark, she’s also responsible for capturing and sharing its story on social media. From shaping the park’s features to snapping the perfect shot for Instagram and Facebook, Eliska combines her passion for snow and storytelling. We caught up with her to get a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s really like to be a Multimedia Shaper in a snowpark.

“It was back in the 90s. We were fanatic snowboarders, constantly roaming the surrounding hills, building kickers wherever possible. Bad Religion and NOFX were blasting from our battery-powered cassette player. With our camcorder, shovels and boozy tea we had everything we needed and it was a damn awesome time.”
