Three, two, one, action! Easter is just around the corner, and so is Spring in the Park at Terrain Park Zugspitze! From March 31 to April 15, 2012, the legendary freestyle camp for all snowboarders and freeskiers will rock Germany’s highest mountain again! For slopestyle riders on skis and snowboards, Spring in the Park 2012 will offer everything that sweetens Easter in the snow: free coaching, rookie contest, photo sessions, chill area, and a test booth with the most cutting-edge hardware by K2 Skis and K2 Snowboarding.

At the daily coaching sessions at the perfectly groomed Terrain Park Zugspitze, international freeski and snowboard pros will reveal some cool tricks to the participants and help them improve the execution of their slopestyle moves. The array of K2 Skis coaches includes Pius Schneider and Chris Fischer, who also give tips for rails and kickers at the “K2 School of Rockers“ video. Sebi Schmitz (GER), Alex Walch (AUT), and Boris Buehler (SUI) will coach the snowboarders. During Spring in the Park 2012, top snowboarding and skiing equipment is available for free testing: at the K2 booth, riders will already find the latest gear of the 2012/2013 season.

The key meeting point of the Spring in the Park camp is the Chill Area with deck chairs, sound system, BBQ, and beverage sales. The Chill Area is open daily, and the grill will always be fired up when the weather is fine.

The sporting highlight of Spring in the Park 2012 is the Rookie Contest. For the first time, this slopestyle contest on Easter Monday, April 9, 2012, is open to amateur and pro riders alike. K2 sponsoring packages, plenty of non-cash prizes, and lift tickets for Zugspitze are up for grabs. There will be separate rankings for pros and for rookies who are not yet sponsored.

As in the previous year, all riders who travel to Spring in the Park in an eco-friendly way will be rewarded: all participants who verifiably travel to the event with a go-shred.com lift will obtain reduced 1-day lift tickets, available from the go-shred tent at Eibsee station.
