The best snowkiters from around the world will meet at Italy’s spectacular Lake Reschensee, January 29th - 31st, 2010 to battle for the world champion title in freestyle/park and race.
Event coordinator Pascal Matzke says, “The frozen Lake Reschensee is well established in the Snowkite Community and has high reputation for granting powder snow and wind. Those are the two keys for a successful event and thus the reason why we decided to organize the Snowkite World cup 2010 in Reschensee.”
The organizers are awaiting athletes from Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, France, Russia and Scandinavia. During the three-day competition, athletes from around the globe journey toward the beautiful landscape, while the little village allows spectators to follow the sport and enjoy some hot drinks.
The sport of snowkiting is similar to Kiteboarding; the main difference is that the Snowkiter uses Snowboards or Ski instead a kiteboard. The Snowkite Worldcup has two fisciplines: freestyle/park and race. At the race the athletes perform a triangle course similar to sailing. Speed and tactics decide who finishes first, and good conditions provide maximum speeds up to 100 km/h. At the freestyle/park competition, riders perform high jumps with rotations, and kickers and rails can be used to perform similar tricks.

It is well-nigh impossible to travel in Italy without discovering something historic - Italy has the most UNESCO World Heritage Sites on the planet, and there are tons of things that UNESCO doesn’t get at listing that are most likely older than whatever you’ve seen before. Italy is a country with history.
Rural Italy is turning more and more fashionable with tourists. Tuscany is particularly nice-looking with hilly and mountainous topography in much of the area. There are eye-catching valleys too and interesting Tuscan farm houses.
