We closed out our winter season with the 5th annual Volcom Banked Slalom and Castle Rockout in Kaprun/Kitzsteinhorn. Yet another epic ender with lots of friendly freaks, great weather, fun banking and a legendary party at castle.
Volcom team rider Olivier Gittler opened the night with his band, Leopard Ale, followed by a mind blowing set from King Khan and the Shrines. The party location is so unique — there are no words to describe the atmosphere in the castle when it’s packed with partying snowboarders.
