The 2026 AbsolutPark Spring Battle reached its peak with a spectacular award show in Flachau. Mia Brookes claimed first place in Slopestyle following her Rail Jam victory, while American rider Judd Henkes delivered one of the best Slopestyle runs ever to take the men’s win. The same course will host the FIS Snowboard World Cup Flachau finals on Saturday.

“Snowboarding has always been about freedom. Freedom to find your own line and lose yourself in the feeling. Whether that's carving groomers, floating through powder, or just shredding the park with the people you love doing it with.”

A packed and action-filled program featuring some of the best snowboarders in the world awaits at AbsolutPark. The action kicks off on Saturday with “A Day for Jake” at Shuttleberg. The following day marks the first competition day of the legendary Spring Battle Slopestyle and Rail Event, before the FIS Snowboard World Cup Flachau takes over from Thursday onward. The women’s and men’s finals will take place on Saturday, March 21st.

Lights, camera … and action please: when you turn the corner at a certain point on the P60 run, a perfectly arranged Happy Winter film scene rolls into view, like a search-andfind picture book, where there is something to discover in every corner. But this is reality: the Banked Slalom LAAX as it lives and breathes. Its dream location with a course full of hand-scooped steep turns that fit the terrain like snow gloves, a view of the Swiss mountain panorama, and a lively finish area, accompanied by live DJ sound, barbecues for veglings and meatheads alike, and sunbathing between two runs. The hike up to the start in 1999 style, on to the next round. It’s like surfing … in the snow!

On February 28th and March 1st 2026, the 3rd Zillertal VÄLLEY RÄLLEY tour stop hosted by Blue Tomato went down at PenkenPark Mountopolis in the Mayrhofen Hippach holiday region, Zillertal. The Välley Rälley attracted snowboarders from all over Europe and even Australia to travel to the Zillertal.
