Norway resulted for the 8th time in a row the best team of the Protest World Rookie Fest in Livigno, standing out as the most influent nation in youth competitive snowboard programs. On the podium also riders from Italy, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Belgium and Poland. The finals of this 3Star TTR slopestyle showcased massive tricks and tons of style in the Mottolino Swatch Snowpark, perfectly shaped despite of the lack of snow and the wind storms of the last weeks: nothing can stop Mottolino resort in Livigno when the Black Yeti squad is awaited.
