After four successful years hosting the World Rookie Freeski Finals and heading into the fifth edition in 2026, Madonna di Campiglio is ready to welcome a brand-new chapter of the World Rookie Tour.
For the first time, the resort will host a WRT event dedicated exclusively to snowboarders: the Ursus Rookie Fest, scheduled from January 25th to 29th, 2026.
The legendary Ursus Snowpark, already known internationally for its freeski events and creative slopestyle lines, will now open its doors to the rising snowboard generation. The contest will take place on the L Line, one of the most appreciated kicker lines in the Alps, thanks to its variety of sizes, smooth transitions and progression-friendly layout. It’s the ideal setting for rookies and groms looking to compete, push their skills, and experience a world-class event atmosphere.
Behind the scenes, the Ursus Snowpark crew is approaching this first snowboard edition with the same dedication and precision that have made the park one of the most respected terrains in the region. As Snowpark Manager and co-founder of the World Rookie Tour, Jimmi and his team are preparing the L Line specifically for the event, shaping it to offer safe features, high-quality lips and landings, and the kind of playful flow that allows young riders to improve throughout the week. The goal is clear: deliver an environment where progression comes naturally and where every rider, coach and team can fully enjoy their time in Campiglio.
