Black Yeti will come back for the 5th time in Monte Bondone, Italy, for the 2016 edition of the Trentino Rookie Fest. One of the most successful event in the World Rookie Tour will be focused on an incredible program including slopestyle competitions, night rail session, a visit to the beautiful town of Trento, and lifestyle activities such as the “Crazy Bob Race” and a night walk in the woods. A trip to discover Trentino, not only a competition, for a great experience with a lot of entertainment for all participants.
The sportive side of the event include the Slopestyle Contest, to get qualified for the 2016 Volkl World Rookie Finals in Ischgl.

Moreover many side activities will fulfill the event program: film premiere about the 2015 World Rookie Tour, Night Photo Shooting, and a touristic trip to Trento to visit the old town, “Buonconsiglio” castle and enjoy some shopping. Typical Trentino food, nice hotel with swimming pool, night walk in the woods, the “Crazy Bob Race” and a great final party on Saturday night will ensure great time as well.

ABOUT THE WORLD SNOWBOARD FEDERATION
The World Snowboard Federation (WSF) is the international organization exclusively working to develop the sport of snowboarding at all levels. Program areas include: competitions, Para-Snowboard, judge and shapers, education and certification, and snowboard activities for riders of every age. The WSF represents a network of National Snowboard Associations (NSAs) who work together at a worldwide level to promote the development of snowboarding. NSA members can find a source of inspiration and support from the WSF for the activities they are conducting within their nation and by working towards the same goal: progression of snowboarding from the ground up. The WSF collaborates with the TTR Pro Snowboarding, the owner and operator of the TTR World Snowboard Tour and the TTR World Ranking System. Through this collaboration and coordination of events at the TTR World Snowboard Tour, The WSF and the TTR want to create an environment that fosters the development of competitive snowboarding. In February 2012, the WSF and the TTR hosted the inaugural World Snowboarding Championships in Oslo, Norway, an elite level event to be held every four years in alternating cities around the world.

About TTR Pro Snowboarding & World Snowboard Tour
TTR Pro Snowboarding is a non-profit organization that oversees a professional network of events and athletes. Our objective is to develop and showcase the sport of snowboarding through the World Snowboard Tour, while facilitating a fair and open competition environment that includes innovative judging and ranking systems. We encourage riders to develop from rookies into world-class athletes through a 6 Star level rating system; which will be replaced by a new 4-tiered structure from October 2014. Under the new World Snowboard Tour 2.0, the 4-tiered structure will encompass Elite, International, National, and Regional event levels. Elite events will comprise the WST Pro Series (current working title). The Regional, National, and International levels of the WST 2.0 will make up the WST Qualifying Series (working title).
