Blue Tomato Kings Park Hochkönig: Royal Freestyle on 2 Kilometers Length!
With a breath of fresh air and some big news the Blue Tomato Kings Park Hochkönig
opens it gates once again on the magnificent Hochkönig! Last season was more than
successful and this year the park is getting even bigger: The BLUE TOMATO KINGS PARK
will be extended by two new sections. All Shredheads can look forward to exploring a
wide range of new obstacles. This season, the biggest European snowboard label QParks,
sounds the bell for a new era: High-quality freestyle-fun is waiting for you – on a length
of 2 kilometers!
Long, Longer, Blue Tomato Kings Park Hochkönig
The Blue Tomato Kings Park spreads out almost as long as the 8-men gondola “Kings Cab” with a
total length of incredible 1.8 km of pure freestyle. This leaves Chief QParkdesigner Bernd Mandlberger
and his crew infinite potential to release their creativity and shape the park. What that means? From
now on you can shred the whole park without losing precious time on the slopes. After a riding
session, the “Kings Cab” gondola is the perfect spot to chill out and recover while going up the
mountain before doing it all over again!
But there’s more to come. A lot of new obstacles promise an exciting season: The modular railelements offer more flexibility, the new Industry Kinked Rail with a diameter of 25 cm and a length of
7 m will especially challenge advanced riders. Another new element that we’d like to welcome to the
park family is the Industry Cannon Rail, which is awesome for funny jib sessions! Of course there’s
also cool stuff for kicker freaks. Loads of jumps with tables between 5-13 m will give you airtime
deluxe. On the whole, the park’s vast variety, creative lines and a huge range of kickers, boxes and
rails are sure to impress you. With a total of 49 elements, riders on all skill levels will find their
challenges. The Blue Tomato Kings Park will shine in new splendor and become the perfect place to
be for all freestyle-maniacs.
Feel the freedom
With 150 km of perfectly prepared slopes and 33 lifts, the ski area Hochkönig offers pure winter
pleasure to all skiers and snowboarders. In the vast, extensive area of the Hochkönig you can inhale
the freedom of the mountains and it’s the best spot to enjoy the “white gold”. You will not only find
perfect slopes, there are also amazingly rambling powder runs waiting to be explored. Throw yourself
into the powder and enjoy the pure backcountry pleasure of the area: the Hochkönig welcomes
passionate freeriders with a lot of snow, high-class lines and exquisite cliff drops.
If you’re looking to chill out after a perfect skiing day, there are lots of cosy, inviting huts. If you’re a
party animal, you should definitely check out the “Hexenhäusl” or the typically Austrian après ski bar
at the skistation Fellersbach. There’s no better way to finish a nice day on the mountain than with
good vibes and nice people.

Park site, you will find all important information on the park. We gave our best to furnish the new

information on the park, the crew, news, pics and a lot more. It offers everything a Blue Tomato
Kings Park-Fan needs so if you want to stay tuned, drop by!
