Hotzone Opening Hintertux 2014 Daily Report - Friday

Friday exceeded all expectations: Several thousand snowboarders showed up to test the latest equipment from the many attending brands under ideal conditions on the slopes and in the Betterpark Hintertux. The latter in particular has obviously benefited from the cool and snowy summer. Never before has the park been in such good shape for the opening: Around 40 obstacles in slushy conditions - from pro line to veritable jib mecca that runs all the way down to the park lifts - attracted many pros and AMs.

No wonder a lot of pros showed up at 11am for the Alarm Clock Session: Riders like local hero Werni Stock, Roope Tonteri, Seppe Smits, Sebbe de Buck and Adrian Krainer showed their creativity and skills over the clock obstacle. And afterwards, the amount of pros in the park was astonishing: Ethan Morgan, Mario Käppeli, Mathias Weissenbacher, Rowan Coultas, Chris Kröll, Simon Pircher, Gigi Rüf, Marco Feichtner, Michi Schatz, Flo Corzelius, and Tom Klocker are only a few of those who showed up on the Opening Friday. Most of them will also attend the premiere of the new Pirates flick "Perceptions" and the various warm up parties in Tux.
