Already at the beginning of the last century, freeriding was popular. Freeriders have enjoyed the lonlyness of the mountains, the pleasure in and with the nature and have left their tracks in the powdered snow. Freeriding is not only a sport – it`s an expirience.
But Freeriders take upon a high responsibility. Best knowledge and equipment (helmet, rucksack with snow shovel, avalanche probe and first aid equipment) are necessary condition. For case of accidents inform previously of the telephonnumber cable railway and mountain rescue. Never ride alone. Observe each other and never lose sight. Are concentrate and able to react. Ride only in steep slopes and hold considerable margins.
Otherwise you only need „fat“ skiers (this means more than 95 mm wide, broad shovel, soft flex, the length of the ski should take your size plus about 10cm).
So, if you want to shred through the free area and mark your trail through the powdered snow: Leave the workaday world and enjoy the Freesports Arena Krippenstein!
