Snowboarders kick off winter season at the Hintertux Park Opening 2023
For the 19th time, the snowboard community gathered at the Hintertux Glacier from October 6th to 8th, 2023 to start into the season at the Hintertux Park Opening 2023. Beginners, advanced riders, professionals, including illustrious names like Olympic champion Anna Gasser, they all met at the first Opening in Betterpark Hintertux. Despite the challenging snow conditions, the park team did an incredible job and conjured up a setup that was impressive. Whether on the mountain or in the valley – there was a lot going on – also thanks to the rockers from Sempre Caoz, who got the crowd rocking during the Metal Battle on Saturday evening. The Hintertux Park Opening has once again proven itself as a meeting place for the community, as Hintertux has proven once again that winter starts earlier there.For the 19th time, the snowboard community gathered at the Hintertux Glacier from October 6th to 8th, 2023 to start into the season at the Hintertux Park Opening 2023.

Sane! Metal Battle Night rail Jam
METAL BATTLE ROCKED – Michi Schatz and Max Glatzl with the Sane! Gang presented the Sane! Metal Battle Rail contest at the valley station. Hundreds of spectators came and were rewarded with a real jib spectacle and rock band Sempre Caoz live in-concert. In the best conditions riders hit the rail features in the specially constructed arena. They showed creative and versatile riding at high level and thrilled the audience. Jam sessions are fast and always a little chaotic, but that’s exactly what makes it so appealing, because the result is a real firework of tricks. In the women’s category, Austrian Selin Lakatha claimed most of the awards with some of the best tricks of the evening, while Oyvind Kirkhus provided some of the best moments not only in Werni’s Session but also in the Metal Battle, such as his one-foot tricks.
