New super-pipe at the Kitzsteinhorn Mellow Park
Three snow parks plus super-pipe at the „Kitz“ • Glacier Park to open in October

A super-pipe is the newest addition to the Kitzsteinhorn Mellow Park in Kaprun, Salzburg County, Austria. Additionally, in the 2008/09 season the three snow-parks DC Central Park, Roxy Park and Glacier Park will be optimised and the Easy Cross will be installed at a new location.

As soon as the snow conditions allow, from late December 2008 or January 2009 the freestyle set-up at Kitzsteinhorn will be enriched by another highlight: then, a 150-metre super-pipe with 5.5-metre walls will be built at the Sonnenkarbahn slope. Apart from the altitude (2,650 m), snow cannons will guarantee for enough snow. The pipe is exposed to the North to keep down solar radiation and to ensure the same conditions at both walls. The pipe will be prepared with a Zaugg PipeMonster. Read the rest of this entry »
