The legendary Spring Battle officially kicks off in Absolut Park, bringing the global snowboard community together once again in one of the most iconic freestyle destinations in Europe.

From March 14 to 21, 2026, riders from around the world gather at Absolut Park, located at Shuttleberg Flachauwinkl-Kleinarl, Austria, to take part in one of the most progressive and creative snowboard contests of the season.

For more than two decades, Spring Battle has been recognized as one of the most influential independent freestyle snowboard competitions and an important event within the World Snowboard Federation community, attracting the best riders in the world.

What makes Spring Battle unique is its Follow-Cam contest format. Instead of traditional judged runs, riders have several days to film their best slopestyle run with a FPV-Drone crew. This format allows athletes to push creativity, style and progression, capturing snowboarding in its purest form.

Throughout the week, the legendary Absolut Park Pro Line will once again host cutting-edge tricks and innovative lines as riders battle for the best filmed run.

Fans from around the world can follow the action live on YouTube, bringing the atmosphere of Absolut Park directly to the global snowboard community.
