Nothing more simple to know how the future of snowboarding is going on: being in Kaprun Zell am See for the World Rookie Finals from April the 4th to April the 9th. From Chile to Australia, from Bulgaria to Scandinavia, from the Alps to Japan to North America, the Black Yeti in the last 8 months rounded up the best young riders.

Now is the time to fight for the prestigious World Rookie Champions titles, and win incredible prizes: wildcard to World Class Events, filming session with Pirate Movie Production, invitation to Rookie Fest Shooting, Trip to Chile and many tickets to next season Rookie Fest events. In addition, our partner SurftoLive will reward the podium riders with 6 surf camps in Santander, Spain!

The program of 2017 World Rookie Finals will include World Snowboard Tour Slopestyle and Half Pipe contest. For those Rookies who come for the first time in Kaprun, Snowpark Kitzsteinhorn will welcome them with the best kickers, the massive superpipe and countless rails, boxes and fun-obstacles!

Watch the Snowpark video presentation here. Finally, our official speaker will be Marc-André Tarte! As you know, he has been a crazy professional snowboarder for a dozen years, which has pushed the level of global snowboarding... And of course, he was our cool Black Yeti last season!
