Cappuccino Club Charity Banked Slalom

4th annual Charity Banked Slalom, Kühtai, Austria

BANKED SLALOM CANCELLED!!

Wegen Schneemangels müssen wir den Banked Slalom heuer leider absagen. Es liegt einfach zu wenig Schnee im Kühtai, um einen lustigen Kurs zu bauen. Ein schneearmer Winter zusammen mit dem wärmsten März der 251-jährigen Messgeschichte haben leider der schönen Idee eines Season Enders den Garaus gemacht.

Due to a lack of snow unfortunately we have to cancel this year's edition of the banked slalom. There is simply not enough snow to shape a fun course. A winter with little snow, together with the warmest month of March since measurements began, make it impossible to have a nice season ender banked slalom.

We'll hopefully be back next year. In the meantime fight global warming and support protectourwinters.at !

Report

Sunday 22 March 2015, Kühtai in Tyrol: Innsbrucks Snowboardcrew Cappuccino Club hosts the 2nd Cappuccino Club Charity Banked Slalom.

What a day! Up to 40 cm of powder and the sun glimpsing throw clouds mark the start for an epic day and a celebration of snowboarding. 120 starters are listed. Cakes, steaks and chill area for resting are waiting at the finish line. Some international pro riders, many big names of Innsbrucks snowboard scene and a horde of over 20 kids made it to Kühtai to battle for the fastest run through the challenging banks. The technical course demanded all of our skills.

Thanks to great support from the industry, all kids and many teens, adults, legends, families, double-teams and retro-shredders walked home with prizes and a big smile.

Raising for local projects and prizes of happiness

Togehter with the Charity Party on Friday the 20th of march, we could collect more then EUR 4.000,-! Thank you very much. We will help kids to go shred and support local charity projects!

Investment Update:

Project1: We are happy to support the Sunrise Club of Nina Weiss and her friends [EUR 1.500,-]. They help northafricans to integrate and learn German. Thanks a lot for your commitment, Nina!

Project2: Further some of us visited the "Refugeehome Mentlberg" and they helped us to get in contact with 4 Syrians who stay at the refugeehome in Radfeld. Mohamad, Abdulghani, Hasan, Bilal togehter with John, Doris, Alex, Johannes, Stefan and Stephan had a great time cooking together, learning from each other and providing Syrian specialities at our stand at the "Go Shred" fleemarket. With a EUR 250,- investment, they were able to earn more than EUR 600,-. The money will be invested in their temporary accomodation. Find some more pictures.

Event report 2015:

After our internal training the Highspeed entry had to be "disarmed" and moved downward

Nicholas Wolken pushing it

Swiss Proriders Nicholas Wolken and Stephan Maurer really liked coming to the Kühtai:
“The Cappuccino banked was one of the funnest events we have been to. Lots of old and new friends, good vibes toped of by a insanely fun course and a killer finisharea. Of course we are stoked about the fact that we did well in the race, but the main win was the good times we had. So thanks for the great day and we will be there next year for sure! Cheers Team-KORUA”

FAQ

No idea what a banked slalom is:

ITS FUN WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO LOVE SNOWBOARDING!

Explanation (german): Das Wort „banked“ bedeutet in Zusamenhang mit einer Kurve, dass es sich hier um eine Kurve mit Querneigung, also einer Steilkurve handelt.
Es handelt sich also um ein Snowboardrennen auf Zeit, welches in einem mit Steilkurven präparierten Kurs stattfindet. Es ist aber kein gewöhnlicher Boardercross bei dem große Sprünge und andere Hindernisse überwunden werden müssen, sondern wie der Name schon sagt, geht es hier rein um das vergnügliche Fahren der Banks und die Möglichkeit Leute die diesen Sport leben und lieben zusammenzubringen.
