If you dream to become a professional snowboarder your future starts at the World Rookie Tour!

The first edition of Corvatsch Rookie Fest has come to the end: the international freestyle snowboard contest loved by all under 18 riders, this year it landed in Corvatsch, Switzerland. 40 snowboarders from 7 nations. They meet up at Corvatsch Snowpark in order to show everyone future pro riders’ skills!

The first day was decicated to training and the young riders gave proof of their talent on the board. Friday ended with the Corvatsch Snownight. Healthy snowboard and a good dinner with friends on the slopes is always the best way to prepare for the race.

Today, the rookies gave their best in every 3 run of the competition to win the access to Ischgl final and a surf camp in Spain thanks to Surftolive.com. Thanks to the work of Corvatsch Park shapers, who made two jump on the occasion of the race, the rookies have rock with their best trick!

But the Yeti doesn’t stop and tomorrow is scheduled a photoshooting with all the athletes and coaches who participated at the event!

Look all photos here!
