Successful snowboard camp in Schnals

Last weekend, the Snowboard section of the South Tyrolean Winter Sports Association invited people to a training course on the Schnalstal Glacier. Six local clubs accepted the invitation and worked side by side with the South Tyrolean national team.

First, the athletes from the clubs ASV Villnöß, ASV Welschnofen, ASV Burgstall, ASV Toblach, ASV St. Vigil and ASV Gröden skied freely before they watched the snowboarders from the national squad - and thus the athletes they emulate - as they completed their training runs.

During dinner together in the accommodation, the training day was reviewed once again, and Roland Unterleiter, who is responsible for the snowboard area, informed those present about the program and the innovations with regard to the 2024/25 season.

There was also joint training on Sunday before the two-day camp came to an end and athletes and coaches headed home. A total of 60 snowboarders took part in this year's training camp at the start of the season.
