On the 24th of this year’s February another fine crew came together in the equally fine Swatch Snowpark Sölden tucked away in the beautiful Ötztal valley. The bunch of pros consisted of the Qmedia® fraction incorporating Filmer Sean Balmer (AUS) and Rudi Wyhlidal, Qphotographer and parkdesigner, on the other side of the lenses there were the crazy-dude fraction involving the riders Mario Wanger, Thomas Franc, Much Macho, Patrick Tilg and Jye Kearney. Well that sounds promising enough to provide a little review of the session and so we’ve asked Mario, Patrick, Thomas and Rudi how they liked it…

On Wednesday the ISPO took an end and all representatives of the QParks team agree that it was a whole success across the board! The QParks booth was among the most popular in hall A1 and countless visitors stopped by for a drink in our chill-out lounge. However, the aim of the ISPO was not just partying and having a fun time: Besides the rush at the QParks stand, our team was busy with meeting and talking to brands, crews, partners, industries and media representatives in order to boost the freestyle network!

In the last couple of weeks, a great deal of QParks’ workload went into the preparations for our appearance at the 1st annual European Park Conference at the ISPO 2010 in Munich going off this Sunday Feb 7th and Monday 8th. The main concern of this special congress is to bring the parks, the industry and resorts together at one place to discuss the current and future park-development in Europe. For sure, QParks is the biggest player at representing snowparks and the interests of all freeskiers and snowboarders!
