Freestyle skiers and snowboarders at Kitzsteinhorn<\/a> in Kaprun, Austria, will have to wait a little longer for their jibs and jumps.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Snowpark Kitzsteinhorn<\/a> recently announced a delay in opening its glacier park as the resort\u2019s Kitzsteinhorn Glacier awaits fresh snowfall. <\/strong>The snowpark had initially planned to open this weekend, but unseasonably warm temperatures and a lack of lasting natural snow accumulation have left the glacier thin and bare, forcing the snowpark to delay its opening.<\/p>\n

While Kitzsteinhorn will not open the glacier park this weekend, the resort is going ahead with Opening Day this Saturday, October 10. <\/strong>Skiing will be available down to the Gletscherjet 3\/4 Mid-Station. Kitzsteinhorn has not yet announced a rescheduled date for opening its glacier park, leaving skiers and snowboarders without a terrain park on opening weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately we won\u2019t be able to open the park this upcoming weekend,\u201d Snowpark Kitzsteinhorn wrote in its announcement on Facebook<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cBut the good news is that the resort is opening this Saturday!!\u201d<\/p>\n
