EventReport | Intersport Snow Days

Why was I there?

I also had the privilege of experiencing the event and testing a lot of equipment. On one of my first ski days of the season on perfectly groomed slopes, which were nevertheless icy and difficult to ski in parts due to well-known reasons for this time of year, I took it easy at first. I chose similar material to my current board and became bolder in my choice from hour to hour. By the end of the day, I had tried out four boards with four bindings, as well as three pairs of goggles, which were put to the test in the changing weather. As you might have guessed from the number of products borrowed, the rental process was super quick and easy. It was only at the beginning of the event that there was a slight delay in collecting the test tickets that had already been registered online. This was probably also due to the enormous rush and the generally very crowded ski area with few open slopes.

Side events

As the owner of a test ticket, I was also able to take part in various side events. For example, there was morning yoga, technique training with professionals and avalanche transceiver courses. The side events started for me on Friday morning with my alarm clock at 6 a.m., as I set off for the sunrise yoga session at 7:30 a.m. full of anticipation. The yoga session took place in a separate room in the restaurant at the Eisgratbahn mountain station. After a small, unnecessary detour via the Gamsgarten gondola, I was greeted by a grinning Intersport employee at the right mountain station and led into the room with a huge window front and panoramic view of the Stubai Alps. Everything was already prepared there and we started into a yoga flow that was perfect for all skill levels. After a mixture of mobilization, strengthening and warm-up for the following day's skiing, we enjoyed a rich and delicious breakfast. Immediately afterwards, I was sensitized again for the hopefully upcoming powder days in an avalanche transceiver training. First, the theory was recalled, then the content was consolidated in practice with several exercises. Freeride technique training was also offered, which I was unfortunately unable to attend as the information about a spontaneously organized snowboard technique course came too late.

Conclusion

In summary, the Intersport Snow Days were a thoroughly successful event that I can warmly recommend to anyone who is still on the hunt for new equipment. What I find particularly attractive about the Snow Days is the comprehensive range of offers (extensive selection of rental equipment, super exciting side events) in relation to the price.
