PIPE TRAINING WEEKS 2025

Olympia Vibes in November

IT'S A WRAP

And what a November it was! The legendary Pipe Training Weeks are officially in the books for 2025 – but the smiles on the riders' faces will stick around for a long time. For an entire month, the Kitzsteinhorn delivered its A-game: endless sunshine, crisp glacier air, and conditions straight out of a freestyle dream.

It's for sure the best pipe at this time of the year. Alli * and the team here do such a good job. You can see how nice the weather is. So, that's all super helpful for training and progression, and yeah – it's just a great place. We love it.

THE WORLD'S BEST ON THE GLACIER

More than 160 riders from 18 nations showed up for this year's Pipe Training Weeks – including the absolute heavy hitters of Snowboard and Freeski. From seasoned contest veterans like Queralt Castellet and David Wise all the way to the next-gen chargers hungry to level up, they all came to dial in their runs for the 2026 Winter Olympics.
