A wind storm attacked the Roxy Pinky Jam “Girls Snowboard Meeting & Contest” in Livigno, ending the slopestyle contest but not the event. In fact, the riders shredded in two photo & video shoots around the Carosello 3000 ski area in Livigno, with TTR top riders Margot Rozies and Alicia Bonnaud. After, everybody joined the saturday night party at Marco’s Pub.

With maximum speeds of 180km/h, the wind stopped the slopestyle competition at the Roxy Pinky Jam, by cutting off travel to the Carosello 3000 Snowpark in Livigno on both Saturday and Sunday. Only a few riders arrived on friday morning before the storm, and were able to shred the new Carosello 3000 Snowpark, a few times before the wind storm changed the event schedule. The slopestyle contest on saturday was postponed to Sunday, and finally cancelled due to the terrible wind at the top of the moutain. Meanwhile, at the bottom of the valley, it was sunny, and warmer. Fortunately, snowboarding is not only about competing: after the cancellation of the slopestyle contest, two photo & video sessions where arranged to create some images with the filmers and photographers at the event. The first shooting was on saturday evening in the new wood park and a second one on sunday morning in the rail park at the bottom of the lifts.

While the competition was cancelled, there was still plenty of fun, socializing, photography, video shooting, shopping and a pretty hard party on Saturday night. The participants got together to celebrate one of the few dedicated girls event in Europe. Participants included: Atti Hast, Heidi Tuberosa, Tania De Tomas, Silvia Sartori, Martina Jole Moro, Nadine Walker, Nicole Gsponer, Jo Chantry, and Derde Evelien.
