When Ski Legends Turn Dreams into Reality – two unforgettable days filled with snow, passion and inspiration. There are moments in sport that stay with you forever. Moments when children’s eyes light up and dreams suddenly feel within reach. That is exactly what happened at SKIDS – The Snow Festival.
When the festival winners gathered in December at the Schneeberg Family & Spa Resort in Ridnaun, one thing was clear from the very beginning: these days would be about much more than skiing. Because when young talents share the slopes with ski legends such as Denise Karbon, Kristian Ghedina, Manfred Mölgg and Stefan Luitz, something truly special is created.
Ski idols up close – inspiration that lasts
From 14 to 16 December, 25 young skiers from the U10 to U16 categories took part in an exclusive two-day ski camp, the main prize of the third edition of “SKIDS – The Snow Festival”.
Two intense days full of training, learning, laughter and unforgettable moments.
Free skiing with Kitzbühel winner Kristian Ghedina, dryland training with Crystal Globe winner Manfred Mölgg, and valuable technical tips from giant slalom icon Denise Karbon gave the young athletes a unique opportunity to learn directly from the best.
More than training: team spirit and fun
In addition to the professionally guided training sessions, the young skiers enjoyed a varied and exciting supporting program. After the first get-together and a joint dryland training session, the opening evening ended with a relaxed dinner, where friendships quickly formed.
The second day featured giant slalom training on the slopes of Monte Cavallo, followed by video analysis with the coaches.
Fun and entertainment were also guaranteed: trampoline jumping, swimming at the resort and an energetic karaoke night created unforgettable memories and lots of laughter.
The ski camp concluded with a final training session on the slopes, followed by autograph sessions and countless photos – memories that will last a lifetime.
