Happy world stars at the Kitzsteinhorn Pipe Training Weeks
“I enjoy coming to the Kitzsteinhorn every time: perfect pipe, superb panoramic views of the Alps and fast rounds – my favorite place to train”, enthused freeski vice-world champion and X Games winner Zoe Atkin (GBR). Double Olympic champion David Wise (USA) added: “The pipe is just perfect. This is my favorite training camp of the year!”
The snowboarders were equally happy about the conditions: “We always have good vibes in the Kitzsteinhorn superpipe”, tells vice-world champion Valentino Guseli (AUS). “The crew is awesome and does all that's humanly possible to guarantee everything’s perfect for us. The transition is super-nice and ideal for fine-tuning tricks that you already master on the one hand and for learning new ones on the other. I’m already looking forward to next year!”
Olympic-level superpipe
Renowned shaper Alli Zehetner, builder of the halfpipes at the last three Winter Olympics, is responsible for building the 150-m-long and 6.5-m-high Kitzsteinhorn superpipe.
