RIDE 'N 'ROLL at the Kitzsteinhorn

THURSDAY, 19 APRIL 2007

The end of winter doesn’t mean the ski and snowboard fun at Kitzsteinhorn has also already come to an end! With RIDE’N’ROLL, the Kitzsteinhorn offers the full monty at the end of April: a three day nonstop agenda for skiers and snowboarders! From April 27 to 30, 2007, there will not only be a Slopestyle Contest at the Glacier Park and a Speedcross Contest at the summit slope but also several cool parties at the Castle Kaprun and a free test of the newest skis and snowboards of the upcoming season.

At the moment, the Kitzsteinhorn offers perfect conditions with lots of snow and sun. With several big jumps and rails and some new features, the Glacier Park is also at top form featuring a quarter-pipe and a kicker line. The Glacier Park will be open until Mid of July.

On Friday, April 27, RIDE’N’ROLL will start with the training for the skiers’ and snowboarders’ Slopestyle Contest which will happen on Saturday. On Sunday, the Speedcross Contest will follow. Its start gate will be at the summit station on 3,029 m sea level.

In addition, the participants will have the opportunity to test next season’s skis and snowboards at the test centre on Sunday and Monday. The 2008 models of Atomic, Blizzard, Burton, Fischer, Head, Rossignol, Salomon and Völkl will be available – thanks to Intersport Kitzsteinhorn!

But the riders should take care they’ll have some power left for the parties at the legendary Kaprun Castle. On Friday, April 27, things will go off with the Clubbing Night presenting DJs and Electronic Acts on three floors and a chill-out area. On Sunday, the sound will become heavier at the Rock Night with five Bands and DJs on three floors. “The Doors Experience“ will finish the RIDE’N’ROLL rumble on Sunday night.

Until May 17 2007, Kitzsteinhorn offers the “Snow Okay Package”, the perfect choice for everybody who wants to visit RIDE’N’ROLL. The 3-day last minute offers can be booked from seven days before the day of arrival and include three overnight stays with breakfast, three days Kitzsteinhorn ski pass and entrance to the indoor swimming pool. It’s available from € 166.50, half-board from € 211.50.
