The Finland Rookie Fest will take place this winter at the impressive Iso-Syöte Snowpark, Finland, bringing together the national Suomi Cup and the international World Rookie Tour in a single high-level event dedicated to young snowboarders. Set in Finnish Lapland, Iso-Syöte is known for its reliable snow conditions, creative park design, and strong freestyle heritage, making it the perfect stage for a rookie-focused competition.
The Suomi Cup season will kick off in January at Iso-Syöte, where riders will also compete in the World Rookie Tour Finland Rookie Fest. The event will feature two disciplines: slopestyle and big air, offering athletes the opportunity to express both technical skills and aerial control. The snowpark setup will be shaped to support progression while allowing riders to push their level in a safe and professional contest environment.
The competition is open to Rookie riders (under 18) and follows World Rookie Tour standards, ensuring clear formats, consistent judging, and a positive learning experience. Beyond rankings and podiums, the Finland Rookie Fest focuses on rider development, shared sessions, and gaining experience in an international contest atmosphere. For many young athletes, events like this represent a key step toward future participation in elite competitions.
As an official stop of the World Rookie Tour, the event will also award points for the World Rookie Rank, contributing to the seasonal standings and supporting riders on their path toward the World Rookie Finals, where the World Rookie Champion titles are awarded.
