These were the first comments of first-class snowboarders like Boris Mouton, Rowan Coultas, Jose Aragon, Werni Stock or Roope Tonteri.

Projektleiter und Initiator Sven Toller hat in diesem Jahr, zusammen mit Area 47 Parkdesigner Stefan Morocutti, den Berg mit einem X gebrandet – THE X. Nachdem der im Frühling veröffentlichte Teaser bereits für offene Münder sorgte, gibt es jetzt bis dato unveröffentlichte Action und Details zur Entstehung in voller Länge!

Erst die Arbeit, dann das Vergnügen „Die Idee mit den beiden sich kreuzenden Hips hatte ich schon vor einigen Jahren, doch nie die Möglichkeiten, das Ganze so umzusetzen, wie ich es mir vorgestellt habe“, meint Sven Toller. Sein Plan im Detail: ein Kicker und zwei Hip Jumps sollen X-förmig...
