8th Zillertal VÄLLEY RÄLLEY

In December 2020, the Zillertal VÄLLEY RÄLLEY hosted by Blue Tomato and Ride Snowboards will be starting into the 8th round. As every year, the popular snowboard tour attracts many international snowboarders to travel to Zillertal. Under the aegis of the Ästhetiker crew, four tourstops will be on the schedule for 2020/2021. The events will go down in four different Zillertal snowparks, always with one day of coaching and training and a slopestyle competition day. This season´s series will be kicking off just before Christmas with the first tourstop on December 19th and 20th at Hochzillertal-Kaltenbach.

Eight years of Zillertal VÄLLEY RÄLLEY hosted by Blue Tomato & Ride Snowboard and it goes on! Thanks to the constant support by the Zillertal Tourism GmbH, the Zillertal mountain companies and tourism associations, as well as loyal partners like Blue Tomato, Ride Snowboards, Red Bull, Horsefeathers and Dana Beanies, the popular VÄLLEY RÄLLEY will return to Zillertal in December.

In the past seven years, Zillertal's famous snowboard tour has evolved into one of Europe´s top events for up-and-coming talents. „With the Zillertal VÄLLEY RÄLLEY we are giving young talents the chance to get into professional snowboarding and breathe their first competition air,“ Ästhetiker president and snowboarding legend Steve Gruber explains. „The unique combination of coaching and contest proved its success over the past years. Many young athletes use the event series to benchmark themselves against international competitors and push their own levels to higher progression.“

Boardsports fans can look forward to four action-packed weekends in the Zillertal. The latest snowboards and bindings can be tested for free at the Ride Snowboards demo booth at every tourstop. And while the coaching day stands for freebie freestyle training sessions in small groups and together with snowboard pros, Europe´s rising stars will throw down their best tricks on the competition day to overawe judges, competitors and spectators. All four competitions come along with loads of medals, prizes and prize money. And while Ride Snowboards hands out brand-new snowboards to the gold-medalists, second presenting partner Blue Tomato will be organising funny side events and competitions on the coaching day. Horsefeathers deliveres a brand-new outerwear combo for all four Horsefeathers best trick winners.
With every contest result, athletes will accumulate points in the Zillertal VÄLLEY RÄLLEY overall ranking. The overall Zillertal VÄLLEY RÄLLEY 2021 winners will be rewarded new Royal Zillertal VÄLLEY RÄLLEY family at the fourth and final stage on Hintertux Glacier.
