Freeski – a new discipline at theQuiksilverNEW STAR
ThisyearQuiksilver has prepared a great surprise for the ski-lovers – the NEWSTAR program now officially includes the freeski part, otherwise known as the ski freestyle. The best Russian riders and members of the Quiksilver European team will stand strong against the snowboarders in terms of the visuals of the show and the complexity of tricks.
The SnowmobileShow
A unique and breathtaking snowmobile show will make many spectators literally catch their breath as the most dangerous tricks in the sports’ history are performed, including the backflip (a backward somersault) with a 200+ kilograms worth of vehicle in the air! This year the vibe will go through the roof, as the slopes welcome Daniel Bodin, a three-time gold winner of the Winter X-Games, as the headliner of the snowmobile show, joined by Anders Ericsson and Marcus Nordin.
The NokiaCrossoverSession

Riders from all of the disciplines (Snowboard, Freeski, Snowmobile Freestyle, Truck Show) will have 15 minutes to showcase the most complex and visually compelling program, shredding the jumps together. And another nice surprise: the Nokia’s demo tent will offer a variety of activities, too, including test runs for the new Nokia smartphones and a chance to win valuable prizes.
