Ursus Rookie Fest is one of the most rewarding stops of winter.
Ride in a top Alpine snowpark and turn your podium result into direct access to the World Rookie Finals.
The Ursus Rookie Fest is getting closer and is shaping up to be one of the most rewarding snowboard events of the 2026 winter season. From January 25 to 29, 2026, young snowboarders will compete in Madonna di Campiglio, riding in the spectacular Ursus Snowpark, widely regarded as one of the top snow parks in the Alps.
This event marks a historic first for the World Rookie Tour: it is the first time that WRT brings snowboarders to Madonna di Campiglio. After several seasons in which only freeskiers had the chance to experience this iconic venue, it is finally time for snowboarders to drop into Ursus Snowpark and make it their own.
The entire competition will take place exclusively on the L Line, a progressive slopestyle setup designed for clean takeoffs, smooth landings, and safe progression. Shaped to international standards, the L Line offers the ideal environment for high-level rookie competition and skill development.
Beyond the venue, Ursus Rookie Fest stands out for what is at stake. All riders stepping onto the podium will earn direct access to the World Rookie Snowboard Finals, scheduled in Austria at the end of March. In addition, the Best Man and Best Woman of the event will receive an all-inclusive ticket to the Finals, including accommodation, skipass and entry fee fully covered.
The prize pool goes even further. Rookie Men and Rookie Women podium winners will also be awarded a Surf Camp experience by Surf To Live, extending the competitive journey beyond winter. Podium athletes will additionally receive prize packages from event partners Moving CMP, Blue Tomato, and TSG, reinforcing the World Rookie Tour’s action sports ecosystem.
Registrations are currently open with an Early Bird rate available until December 19. After this deadline, registrations will remain open, but the price will increase. For riders and teams planning their winter calendar, securing a spot early is the smartest move.
The Ursus Rookie Fest offers a full all-inclusive package, covering lift tickets, accommodation, competition entry, and on-site activities. Everything needed for a complete Rookie experience in Campiglio.
With a world-class snowpark, meaningful rewards, and a clear pathway to the Finals, Ursus Rookie Fest is a must-ride stop of the 2026 season.
