The Absolut Park will open it´s doors on the 8th of December once again!

Lines for any level: Rail yard, jib park, halfpipe and superpipe.
The Absolut Park is one of a kind in Europe: As one of the largest terrain parks in the Alps, it is over 1.5 kilometres long, includes five challenging kickers in a row, numerous rails and boxes, a small halfpipe and a separate jib park. Anyone who has been there will return with a smile. For that reason, many new rail and jib features for all levels will be installed and various obstacles redesigned or repositioned in 2017. Fans of smaller jibs will be especially happy to find longer beginner and medium lines in the upcoming winter season, which both will reach down to the Powder Shuttle.

Thanks to the brand-new reservoir the water volume for snow production could be tripled compared to 2016 and the reliability of snow coverage has improved massively. At ideal temperatures, the park can be set up in only four days time. All of that is absolutely unique in the Alps!

Pedal to the metal: Superpipe and X-course

Banked slaloms and carving the slopes are quite a hype at the moment, which is well known at Absolut Park, so the resort presents a new border- and ski-cross course next to the Fürstwandlift in Kleinarl. Time to strap on less responsive boards or skis and get those rusty racing skills going again!

The park’s biggest highlight still is the superpipe, which meets the dimensions required for X-Games and Olympic Games: It has 7 metre walls, is 160 metre long and 30 metre wide. A number of top pros and European national teams train here on a regular basis, which is why it is serviced by its own lift. The superpipe is kept in perfect shape throughout the season by no less than Jamie Kennerley, the eminent shaping expert from New Zealand.

Back to nature: The Stash® Park.
Burton’s outstanding natural park, The Stash®, is also a great freestyle experience. There are nearly 40 obstacles in this unique park concept — one of only five snow parks of its kind worldwide — all integrated into the natural environment and all of which can be ridden in different ways. A rope bridge, poles, a hut rebuilt into a saloon and banked wall rides are but a few of the obstacles on offer, while the natural terrain also provides an incredible number of jib possibilities. An enormous backcountry area with countless natural powder jumps, cliffs, and wind lips also adds to the fun.

And at the top of the run is the Lil’ Stash, which provides beginners with wider, easier boxes and rails to practice on. For winter season 2016/17, it will be complemented by a few new jib features.

Hanging out, bouldering and skateboarding: The Chillhouse.
Sooner or later everyone needs a break, so why not have double the fun at Shuttleberg mountain. At the Chillhouse, you can either relax in the sun while watching your friends rip the jib park or head inside and try bouldering on the massive rock wall or skateboarding on the fun mini ramp. Here video walls show recent snowboard and freeski movies and transform the Chillhouse into the number one place to be in bad weather.
