Forget everything about “end of season”.
This is where the next one begins.
On April 30th, the Lapland Rookie Fest 2026 officially kicks off the World Rookie Tour 2027 season, making it one of the first chances to earn points and make your mark on the new tour.
Set in the surreal Arctic landscape of Levi, Finland, this Freeski Slopestyle competition blends spring conditions with endless daylight and a top-tier park setup. It’s where progression starts early, and riders show up ready to send from day one.
Open to Rookie (2009–2011) and Grom (2012 and younger) categories, the event is designed for the next generation stepping into the scene. Riders will compete for both FIS points and World Rookie Freeski Rank points, with one key detail: no FIS code required, making the contest accessible to all emerging talents.
The setup, shaped by the Levi South Park Crew, will deliver a creative and technical slopestyle line where style, flow and trick selection make the difference.
And then comes the highlight:
evening finals under the Arctic sky, a one-of-a-kind contest vibe you won’t find anywhere else.
Schedule highlights (April 30th):
- Training & qualifications (2 heats)
- Course shaping & reset
- Finals training session
- 19:00 – Slopestyle Finals
- 20:15 – Award Ceremony
