Schedule

The Snowboard Test is more than just a work trip. There’s a full program of events to keep you entertained both on and off the hill  as well as the all-important testing program. Come back to see the latest updates

Saturday 5th May – Arrival day/First day of test

am/pm – People will be arriving throughout the day so activity is limited, although there will be some testing on the hill from 12pm midday – please be aware that not all the brands will be set up by this point, so don’t expect a full complement of product.

evening – The welcome meeting to kick the week off will be held in the PfiffAlm bar from 9pm. It will only take an hour or so, so please make the effort to come down and get all the information you’ll need for the week.

Sunday 6th May – First full  day testing

am/pm -  The test starts at 9am and will continue throughout the day – get riding!

eve - White Lines magazine in association will be holding their annual rail jam on the hill to start at 3pm, with the  party rocking out at the Pfiffalm bar until late. Always one of the riding highlights of the week, this event will be fun!

Monday 7th May - Third day of the test

am – Third day of the test. The test process will be gathering pace by now with retailers and riders alike getting stuck into the boards that are on their lists… Pray for sun!

evening – The Reason and Westbeach present – THE PUB QUIZ - an evening of mental stimulation and if last year was anythign to go by, nakedness on a grand scale.

Tuesday 8th May – fourth day of the test

am – 9am start again, which could be interestingh after the Pub Quiz… We’re deep into the test process now and brands will have an idea of what they still need to push over the coming days

Wednesday 9th May – Fifth day of the test

am/pm – It’s back to the mountain to continue the testing. Our test team will be pushing hard to ride the boards which have maybe not received the attention that some have and we’ll be ticking those boxes all day…

Eve – nothing planned as yet! Watch this space…

Thursday 10th May – Sixth day of the test

am/pm Testing starts to wrap up for many of the brands as they work their way towards the end of the list. We’ll be visiting each brand to ensure that all their products receive the testing that they need and to prioritise the remaining test efforts.

Friday 11th May – Last day of the test

This is an official test day and although many brands will have finished their testing, the test room will remain open until 1pm…
