Contests

Jib King

17. - 18. Dezember 2022

Perfect conditions and top-level riding at the first contest of the season at Absolut Park.

The contest season 2022/23 has started at Absolut Park with its iconic Jib King. What makes it so special is that this event is open to everyone: Freeskiers and snowboarders, girls and boys, amateurs, and pros. They all have equal chances to get one of the treasured trophies and call themselves Jib King or Jib Queen.

While the amateurs had the whole Jib Park to shred, the Stair Set was reserved for the pros. The shapers did a fantastic job, all obstacles were in mint condition and even the weather was playing along. What else could you wish for an event?

On Saturday, it was time for the amateurs to shine, their playground being the whole Jib Park. Kids and Rookies also had their chance to show the adults how much they rip.

RESULTS SATURDAY | AMATEURS:

On Sunday, it was the pro's turn on the AP Stair Set. The weather was even better, bluebird the whole day and happy faces everywhere. As on the day before, drinks were provided (thanks heaps to the Blue tomato crew!) and the music was pumping. Event speaker Henry Jackson was always on point, improving the already good vibe. The spectators were definitely given a perfect show and witnessed Ralph Welponer (ITA) & Yuki Kadono (JPN) becoming the new Jib King's 2022. On the Women's side, Lisa Zimmermann (GER) & Mia Brooks (GB) scored themselves the title Jib Queen 2022!

The level of tricks had been incredible throughout the day - thanks to a top-notch rider field.

RESULTS SUNDAY | PROS:

Congrats to all the many participants, you've been GREAT! See you soon up on the mountain!
