Black Yeti is back in Corvatsch

Posted on

This year the Black Yeti has returned to Corvatsch to find the next pro rider, and first day of training at Corvatsch Snowpark was a blast!

IMG_9792More than 50 riders from 9 nations have warmed on the park obstacles through-out the day. Big up to the shapers’ work that have put together a perfect park for this start of season: first jib set with a downrail box and a flatdown rail, 2 table with 2 kickers each and a last jib set with wallride, 2 downrail.  

Sunshine, mid temperatures and perfect snow were the excellent background for the first day of Corvatsch Rookie Fest stop.

See all photos of first day HERE!
