Hintertux Park Opening 2026: Community Makes the Difference
The 22nd Hintertux Park Opening brought the international snowboard community back together
Rock A Rail presented by Snowfest took street-style snowboarding into the middle of ISPO Amsterdam on 4 and 5 November, with Melissa Peperkamp and Bart Poll completing a Dutch double and spots at Innsbruck and The Hague on the line.
Rock A Rail made its ISPO debut in Amsterdam on 4 and 5 November, with the Snowfest crew and Jibworx turning Congress Square into a street-style setup in the heart of the trade show. The stop had been announced in October alongside the tour’s return to Innsbruck.
There was more than a podium at stake. Amsterdam doubled as a qualifier for the rest of the tour: the winners took spots at Rock A Rail Innsbruck, and the top three women and men qualified for the Tour Finals in The Hague.
Melissa Peperkamp (NED) went one better than her second place at the Hintertux tour stop and took her first Rock A Rail victory. Great Britain’s Maisie Hill finished second, with France’s Zoë Roffi in third.
Bart Poll (NED) completed the Dutch double in the men’s contest, ahead of fellow Dutch riders Senna van Drunen and Wouter Groot.
The Rock A Rail Tour presented by Snowfest now heads to Innsbruck, where Snowfest Innsbruck celebrates its fifth anniversary from 20 to 22 November, bringing the setup into the centre of the Tyrolean capital. The season then wraps up with the Tour Finals at Snowfest The Hague.
