STANTON PARK:

Powder Paradise with Arena Flair

The feeling of a big arena in front of breath-taking scenery coupled with a most innovative park design – once a true insiders’ tip, the STANTON Park has established itself as true freestyle highlight as early as in its two first seasons. So, if you not only want to enjoy endless powder runs, but are also looking for a masterly shaped setup, the STANTON Park is your place to be! With our new partner, O'Neill, extended terrain works during the summer and more innovations, the Arlberg will be the perfect playground for all freestylers also this season.

Winter is coming closer and just like last season the STANTON Park is getting ready for once again becoming the perfect playground for the freestyle community. The park-areal is perfectly accessible with two lifts, which means you can do loads of runs within a short time and literally shred ‘til you drop! But the connection to the lifts isn’t the only thing making the location of the park perfect. For all of you who want to watch what’s going on in the park in a little more laid back manner, the Rendl terrace with its bars and restaurants will give you the perfect opportunity to chill and observing the pros doing their tricks. That’s also one of the aspects parkdesigner Rene Friedl likes about the park: “From the huge terrace you've got a perfect view on what's going on in the park – an absolutely phat location!”

3 Lines – 1 Mission: SHRED OR GO HOME Beginning at the summit station Rendl, also in the season of 2011/2012 the park area includes three infamous sectors, guaranteeing freestyle for all skill levels. The famed Proline with its huge kickers and loads of rails and boxes, the popular Medium Kickerline located at the center, with jumps between 7 and 11 meters and, of course, the Jibline, inviting you to let off some steam on different rails and boxes. In order to regularly offer new challenges to the riders, just like last year, a couple of innovations have been integrated in the setup and we can all look forward to a few ingenious arrangements.

Innovations in the STANTON Park The biggest novelty in 2011/2012 is definitely the expansion of earth-forms during the summer. The beginners’ area has been extended and the Jib Line optimized. Parkdesigners Rene Friedl doesn’t want to give it all away quite yet: “Yes, we did optimize terrain forms during the summer and we’re sure to get the one or other new obstacle!” And those obstacles are quite something to look at: apart from a massive, gigantic tube there will be a brand-new industry rail! Also, you can look forward to the other surprises the parkdesigner and his shapecrew have in store for the park in the new season 2011/2012! 

Welcome O’Neill
This season we’re pleased to welcome the world-famous surf, snow and lifestyle giant O’Neill as official Park sponsor and you can rest assured that a fruitful partnership is on its way, bringing the STANTON Park one step further towards the hall of fame of the Alps’ best parks. 

Let the Play Begin! Due to creative park elements and the unique arena-like feeling, the STANTON Park is a superlative contest location. Last season, at the legendary Kirschbaum Battle, the Freestyle Challenge was proclaimed, summoning not only local heroes from the snowboard and freeski scenes. More than 70 riders as well as countless freestyle fans met in a perfectly shaped STANTON Park, where it was ‘eat or get eaten’ – the riders stopped at nothing! Afterwards, however, everyone was partying together – as is the custom in the freestyle community. Of course, there will be a remake of the event this season as well, more precisely on March 17 and 18, 2012 – this time under the name of O’Neill Kirschbaum Battle! 

New challenges can be expected by all visitors, which will feel like riding in an arena, due to extraordinary infrastructure of the area. As the park is located directly in front of the RendlBeach with terrace, bar and restaurant, park riders are perfectly staged. This combination of innovative park design, unique arena atmosphere and an ideal integration of the park into the existing mountain infrastructure, obviously makes the STANTON PARK a superior contest location.
