On Saturday, February 14, 2026, the future of freeriding will take center stage in St. Anton am Arlberg. At the STANTON Freeride by Ski-Club Arlberg, a 2-star Junior Freeride event, young talents will gain their first competitive experience and compete against their peers.
Girls and boys on skis and snowboards will compete in the U14, U16, and U18 categories, showcasing their skills in challenging alpine terrain.

The competition area at Rendl boasts playful terrain, creative features, and offers ideal conditions to demonstrate technique, style, and courage – all set against a breathtaking mountain backdrop and accompanied by enthusiastic spectators.
