World Rookie Tour could not start the 2019/2020 season in a better way. For the first time ever the Black Yeti landed in Les2Alpes, France, for an unconventional summer event in one of the best European resort. On the glacier, 50 snowboarders and freeskiers from 12 different countries including USA, Korea, China and many Europeans, showed their style during the big air and halfpipecompetitions, in a perfectly shaped 18 meters kicker and 6.7 m super pipe by the amazing Les2Alpes Snowpark shapers crew.

Also, a new event format was launched in Les 2 Alpes with a perfect mix between jam session and classic competition: the combination of a “prize for trick” skate format with a jam session open to both snowboarders and freeskiers, ensured a fun and relaxed event for riders, but allowed the judges to create a full ranking working in double-up mode.

To underline also the inclusion in the program of a street contest for the 2019 World Rookie Tour Skateboarding, valuable as direct qualification for the first event World Rookie Skateboard Finals to be held in Portugal on September the 15^th.
