«Double Triple Snow Fest» will take place for the third time in a row under the Peoples’ Friendship Arch on December 17—19. Visa, the world partner of the Olympic Games, became the general partner of the event.
The snow park for the competitions has been styled as an opera this year, so riders from Europe and North America will compete on the stage surrounded by theatrical scenery. The winners of the X-Games, continental and world contests are among the participants.
DTF Magazine together with Visa reveals what you should know about the main event of the winter and why you should not miss it
The Double Triple Snow Fest 2021 Snowpark has been transformed into an opera this year. Riders will compete directly on the stage, the jib zone will be located on the theatrical stairs, and the athletes in the air category will get a unique chance to jump over a real piano.
The spot will be completed by velvet decorations, as well as a closed judging box and a studio for broadcasting.
The total area of the spot is 1400 square meters, its height is 20 meters. And it is still one of the largest urban snow parks in Europe.
The competitions will take place over three days. Ukrainian qualification will take place on December 17, our athletes will fight for the right to pass to the international qualification. The International Contest will take place on December 18—19.
This year 110 riders take part in the competitions, namely 86 foreigners and 24 Ukrainians.
For the first time athletes from six countries will participate in the women’s competition. The women’s part of the competitions was usually represented by a much smaller geography and the number of participants.
Skiers and snowboarders will compete in two categories, namely in air (tricks on the ski jump) and jib (tricks on the railing).
Snowboarders will determine the winners in the air competition on Saturday, December 18 and in the jib on December 19. Everything will be the opposite for skiers. Riders who want to compete in the jib will start on December 18, and those who want to compete in the air competition will perform on December 19.
The prize fund of the competitions is over 16 000 thousand euros. There are also special prizes for the best trick.
Visa also organizes an online contest with a prize fund of $1,000 for those jibers who won’t be able to compete in Kyiv this year. Details of the contest can be found here.
The host of the competition and the voice of the international broadcast will be Iztok Sumatic from Slovenia. He first came as a judge for the Winter Contest in 2019 and he was the head judge and director of the skateboarding contest at Double Triple Summer Fest in the summer of 2021. Sumatik coordinates the World Cup Skateboarding contests and has already been named head judge for snowboarding at the Winter Olympics in Bejing in 2022.
Jameson after-parties will be held after the competition on December 18 and 19. Anyone interested can get in, as long as they register in advance.
