FIS Women's Downhill Slalom

Marlies Schild wins downhill slalom in Flachau

The Snowzen team made their way down to Flachau for the Women’s floodlit downhill World Cup event on Thursday evening. Austrian Marlies Schild followed up her victory in her home town of Lienz in late December by winning the floodlit downhill slalom in Flachau to the delight of the locals.

Battle of the banana (Libtech vs Salomon)

Rocker technology isn’t a new concept but for a lot of snowboard manufacturers it seems to be the case that they are delving into this ever-developing unique market. Over the last couple of years, Libtech and GNU decided to develop this design further and make it more rider friendly. However, with this technology here to stay, it is apparent that other manufacturers such as: K2, Salomon, Capita and Ride are jumping on the band wagon to break their concept to the market.

Action packed activities to do........

If you, like us, fancy a change of pace from skiing and snowboarding once in a while, then here are a few other activities that are available that might grab your interest:

First Impressions

OK……so first things first; let me tell you that Austria is a truly underrated ski holiday destination. Sure there are the three main resorts in Austria which pretty much any winter sports enthusiast can probably tell you about: St Anton, Kitzbühel and Mayrhofen. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been to all of these resorts and, from what I can remember of them, they were very nice resorts too. But here is a little insight into another unfamiliar ‘gem’ that Austria offers.

Salomon Acid

A true rocker board that truly is great fun to ride. Buttering is made even easier with an added potential for big ollies, nose and tail presses. Unsurprisingly good in powder, from its rockered shape, however with a smaller sized board it does make it hard work! For steep terrain and high speeds, it may take someone with a little more experience to make it work for them. Awesome board.
