This year the event is already 15 years old and this round date will be marked by bright jibbing competitions, tricks and master classes from the pros in the new snowpark. Its construction took about two months. The work began in the summer, when the festival team began to develop the idea and concept of the snowpark. It took 150,000 cubic meters of snow to build it. Such a volume in a specific location can only be done using an artificial snowmaking system. As Sergey Chernov, Deputy General Director for GLC of the Rosa Khutor mountain resort, noted: "This work is carried out by our snowmaking service throughout the entire ski season. Day after day, we increased the snow cover at 1600 meters above sea level in order to create a real professional park out of all this huge volume of snow." It took about two months and 700 hours of continuous work.
The snow depth in the park reaches 25 meters (the height of an 8-storey building!). In addition to working with snow, 40 jibbing figures with a total weight of more than 5 tons were prepared. All in order to surprise the festival participants with new shapes and figures, hold competitions and make the best shots of the season.
The technical director of the snowpark, Peter Yastrebkov, the champion of Russia in snowboarding in 2008, a rider with more than 23 years of experience, led the construction process, starting from the concept and ending with the implementation.
