Just like every year the VITAMIN F Freestyle Club, the Free Ride Club Val Gardena and the Freestyle Club Alta Badia organise the „South Tyrol Slopestyle Tour for Skiers“.

The “Twin-Tip” generation is new on our slopes. They embody the New School of Freestyle. Slowly but surely it has become a new trend which has truly moved masses of teenagers.
The quick development of the jumps in their form, style, height and width has reached infinite dimensions. Nearly incredible turns (spins) and positions (grab & style) meet the Freestyle and form the New School.
Only one thing has remained the same: the passion for ski sport. It was passion which brought Old School as well as New School forward and it is the foundation of all developments. The old and the young meet somewhere on that common ground. Freestyle is free in its movement and in addition open-minded and tolerant in its spirit.

The South Tyrol Slopestyle Tour 2009 for Skiers offers all teenagers a platform to get to know this kind of sport and to compete against others.
Slope Style is a form of competition which derives from snowboarding and free skiing. A show-jumping course with various obstacles (Jumps and Rails) has to be passed through in one run and is then rated by a jury.

Everyone between 9 and 17 is eligible for the 4th annual South Tyrol Slopestyle Tour 2009 for Skiers at which all requirements of the standing orders quoted at www.slopestyltour.it have to be complied. The winners await various prizes from well-known sponsors.
