Event History

The twelfth year of the biggest snowboard event in Slovakia - SONY ERICSSON SNOWBOARD FEST is moving after 11 years to a new place, 18. February 2012 in resort PARK SNOW DONOVALY. New place is about to push the boundaries of quality of this competition even higher.

„Joining this event with one the most modern ski resort in Slovakia that offers still better services for skiers and snowboarders, is the best contribution for the event“, says the organizer Jozef Murin to the topic.

After 11 years in Drienica the organizers decided to move away from Drienica with respect to the riders and spectators. PARK SNOW Donovaly offers high-guality conditions for a massive jump that is the event´s priority. The competition will take place in the progressive snowpark that is the best one in Slovakia.

„Our call for fans is - come have fun and promote the greatest battle of 10 000 USD among the professional snowboarders from different European countries such as Sweden, Finland, Norway, Switzerland, Slovenian, Poland, Czech and of course representatives of domestic Slovakia "Jozef Murin added.

Not only new resort is a news but a new web site as well - www.snowboardfest.sk. It´s full of pictures, videos from the last years and of course all event details and updates.

Furthermore online registrations for riders has been released and is now on. Riders can register on the new web site in section „Registration“.

TTR Sony Ericsson Snowboard Fest 2011 - Wrap Up

A truly spectacular performance was witnessed by the three thousand spectators gathered for the biggest Slovakian snowboard contest, the 4Star Sony Ericsson Snowboard Fest on Saturday 19th of February 2011. The freshly upgraded 4Star big air event attracted local superstars, as well as, a strong Swedish and Czech representation to Driencia, the Slovak resort, and a high level of riding was seen throughout the day. Isak Björnström (SWE) took the title leaving countryman Felix Mobärg in second and Jan Nečas (CZE) in third. Isak took home 500 Swatch TTR Ranking points and a mighty share of the $20 000 USD prize purse. The 17-meter flat kicker was in perfect shape and liked by all the riders, and the warm and slightly slushy conditions during the day let riders in the qualifying rounds fly by with a smile on their face. The unique qualification format was one part of the day that made the event memorable and maximised the riding done by the riders. In the first qualification round a minimum of 540 rotation was required to move on, and semi-finals saw a one hour jam session with 2 scored runs where tricks had to be called before dropping in. The evening brought some gusts of wind, but that did not stop the ten qualified riders from putting on a killer showdown in the three jumps, best two counts final. Winner Isak Björnström (SWE) stomped a huge and clean switch backside 900 in the first run, and polished off the victory with a frontside 1080. He was stoked to take his career's first 4Star title and said, "It's the first time I'm here in Slovakia and it was a really great day today. The jump was perfect and with really good riders here, everyone had fun. I came here with couple friends and I'm super happy now." Felix Mobärg (SWE) who rose to second place landed a backside 720 and a frontside 1080, and in third Czech ripper Jan Nečas threw down a crowd pleasing double back flip and a frontside 1080 and moved up into the World No. 57 in the Swatch TTR tour rankings.
