From 2nd to 3rd March the first Freeski World Rookie Fest in Europe took place in Innsbruck, Austria. Under great conditions, a perfect shaped park by the Skyline Park Crew and blue skies, the international rider field showed an incredible riding level and what we have to expect in the future on the Freeski Rookie Tour.
The Nordkette Skyline Park above Innsbruck played host to the event.
First Place Grom Girls went to Ksenia Orlova from Russia. She showed incredible riding skills and impressed the spectators with a railslide on the first rail, a stylish left misty 720 mute on the first jump, a rightside 360 mute on the last kicker and another railslide on the final rail.
