Ski testing and workshops for free
The event offered free ski tests by ski manufacturers Völkl, Head, Faction and Van Deer. Visitors had the chance to try out the latest models and test their own skiing skills and new styles. The event was complemented by a diverse workshop program featuring several ski pros and brand ambassadors. The workshops included freestyle techniques on the slopes, mastering a wide range of snow conditions, and proper skiing on mogul runs.

A celebration for the community
Community events like the “Girls Ride Out” offered great opportunities to refine technique together and gain new inspiration. The highlight was Saturday’s main event: At “THE CHASE,” amateur skiers could compete against the pros of the scene. The athletic program was accompanied by laid-back side events. A BBQ, cozy chill-out zones, and a diverse musical lineup created a true festival atmosphere on the sunny Hochalm in Hinterglemm.


With its mix of workshops, equipment testing and community experience, the Chasing Slopes Festival has once again established itself as a laid-back gathering spot for everyone who wants to celebrate their passion for skiing together. For three days, the Skicircus was all about riding, style, and flow—an event that simply makes you want to enjoy skiing.
