THE AWAKENING
Dear Snowboard Community,
winter is just around the corner and we are ready to kick off the season together! From November 6 to 8, 2026, it’s time to grab your board, head to Kitzsteinhorn and celebrate the first turns of the season.
After two successful editions, THE AWAKENING presented by elooa & Nitro Snowboards is back for its third edition. Two days of snowboarding at Kitzsteinhorn, an evening full of snowboard movies at the historic Burg Kaprun and a Community Ride on Sunday.
For everyone who wants to spend the whole weekend with us, SEASON AWAKENING already starts on Friday evening with arrival and check in. The package including accommodation is already available online. Perfect if you want to be there from the very beginning.
Saturday is all about snowboarding. At the Nitro Testcenter, you can test the latest Nitro gear, while different sessions will take place in the park. Whether you want to try new gear, shred together or simply enjoy your first runs of the season, it’s all about snowboarding and good times. In the evening, the historic Burg Kaprun becomes the meeting point for snowboarders from all over Europe. After the reception and Welcome Speech, we’ll spend the evening watching new snowboard movies, discovering exciting projects and enjoying live music. On the movie schedule: KIPPIS – A Nitro Team Gathering, BIRRU HITOTSU ONEGAISHIMASU - Griffin Siebert, YATZY - Ståle Sandbech & Torgeir Bergrem and MILK – Werni Stock & Tom Tramnitz Live music will be provided by Mark Swoboda & Swingarten. Afterwards, we’ll keep things relaxed with music and drinks.
Together with our partners NITRO, VOLCOM, OAKLEY and EL TONY MATE, we’re looking forward to a weekend full of snowboarding, movies, music and good times.
On Sunday, we’ll head back to the mountain for the Community Ride. A relaxed session together at Kitzsteinhorn to wrap up the SEASON AWAKENING weekend.
SEASON AWAKENING 2026 - Snowboarding, new movies, live music and the perfect way to kick off the new winter season.
We’re looking forward to seeing you!
