The 34. Kaunertal Opening 2019 this year was all about “laid-back atmosphere” – having fun without contest pressure and simply enjoying the new season in the park. For the first time this year there was the brand new “Open Judged Rail and Kicker Session” format for ski and snowboard pros and amateurs.
Then the Deperados Heavy Metal Rail Jam powered by Nitro with the live band Weedoom took place at the Jib’n’Skate Playground, where the riders showed their best tricks and were rewarded with a total of 3 wildcards for the “KTO Invitational Night Rail Jam” and several goodies. Further exciting program items on Saturday were the LVS workshops by Ortovox as well as the Freestyle Mental Coaching by Klausi.
After a great day on the mountain we continued in the valley, with the 2nd part of the KTO Streetparty. On Saturday evening it was the snowboarders turn to perform their best tricks at the KTO Invitational Night Rail Jam on their own wooden rail. An extremely strong rider field of 8 (!) nations put aside the respect for the wood obstacle and showed incredible tricks on the 9 meter long wood rail.
Another legendary party after the show was of course a must! Club Circle day 2 was announced! After the film premiere of the Swiss Escape Movie and the local Kaunertal production “Soulshred” the party lasted into the early morning hours. This time the state of emergency was moved to the Zappa Bar where Ethan Morgan played Dj 90 Techno – this time without soundbox but with turntables. The Swiss Trap Act Pronto and the legendary Wax Wreckaz made the Quellalpin tremble.
