Christmas News from Les Ettes Snowboarder Vanessa Waldenhofer
Hello!
This weekend we held the Blue Tomato Kids Snowboard Day. On this special day we offer free snowboard coaching for kids. With this project we aim to get more kids back on a snowboard as in Austria more and more little kids start to go freeskiing and don’t learn to snowboard anymore!
Well, we had more than 65 kids taking part, fantastic! The snowboard instructors gave lessons to the beginners while some of us, the Blue Tomato team riders, were coaching the more advanced kids. Actually we wanted to take them to the snowpark for the first time of their life, but the park was not ready. As an alternative we started to hit some small powder tracks and did funny noseroll-oneeighty-sessions on the slopes later on. Although the weather was crazy cold, snowy and even more freezing the kids were super happy and stoked about snowboarding and didn’t want to stop! I had a really good time showing the spirit and fun of snowboarding to those mini-shreds and I am quite sure to meet them up in the park one day!
I wish all of you Merry Christmas & a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Vanessa
