The Rock A Rail Ski & Snowboard Tour kicked off its 2025 edition with a banger at the 21st Hintertux Park Opening in Austria. For the first time ever, the Rock A Rail crew teamed up with the long-running Hintertux Gletscher season opener, blending world-class street style with classic glacier vibes. The result? One hell of a way to launch into winter.

The action started Friday with an open qualifier up at Betterpark, before moving down to the brand-new Rock A Rail setup at the valley station. Under the lights, invited riders and qualifiers threw down heavy tricks on a creative, never-before-seen setup that clearly passed the test.
The women came out swinging, with Alaïs Develay (FRA) taking the top spot, continuing her fine form from last season. Local riders Hannah Langes and Sarah Schönach (both AUT) followed close behind in second and third.
On the men’s side, Italian newcomer Stefano Gallina stole the show winning ahead of a heavy line up of international riders. Regular on top spots of the Europa Cup tour, William Bostadlokken (NOR) landed himself in second place with Jakob Koula (CZE) rounded out the podium.
