Skateboards still rolling, snowboards already waxed. As the skate season heads to its Finals in Celje, the Yeti is getting ready for winter, starting from the glacier. 🏂
From November 11th to 15th, 2026, the third World Rookie Camp Hintertux, presented by Ästhetiker, World Snowboard Federation and World Rookie Tour, takes over the Hintertux Glacier in Tyrol, Austria. Snowboard and freeski, open to all ages, riders from all over the world: five days of pre-season training in a freshly shaped park, weeks before most resorts even open.
Ride with the Ästhetiker crew
Coming with your coach? Perfect. Riding solo? The legendary Ästhetiker crew has you covered, with slopestyle training and coaching every morning from Thursday to Saturday. Park shaping by Better Parks – Wille Kaufmann. Filmers and photographers follow the camp all week, and every rider gets pics and footage for free. Your content for the season: sorted.
Off the snow
A visit to the Natur Eis Palast, a Glacier Technical Insides Workshop presented by Hintertux, trampoline and skate time at the Kaboom Hall in Kaltenbach. Add a WRT workshop for coaches and parents, the Video Contest prize-giving, and a Saturday night party.
