This is where the Rock A Rail success story began in 2011. Over the years, the event has transformed from a local rail jam into an international in-city snowboard contest with thousands of fans. Rock A Rail stands for top-class street snowboarding with innovative rails and features and creative riding. 10 years of Rock A Rail – a real milestone, which is also reflected in the set-up, which was revised in 2023 to mark the anniversary. The event also marks the 3rd stop of the 2023 Rock A Rail Tour which kicked off in October in Thun. Riders from all over the world are looking forward for the grand finale in front of the Dutch fans on Saturday, Dec. 9th. Expect a firework of tricks on the 37 m long, 17 m wide and over 10 m high scaffolding with a unique urban setup. </div><div><br /></div><div>A day before the snowboarders, their friends on two boards are in the spotlight for the <strong>DownTown StreetSki </strong>session. A first for The Hague, but surely a spectacular one as the freeskiers will unpack their craziest tricks on the creative playground offered to them in the middle of the city. </div><div><br /></div><div><strong>WINTER SPORTS FOR EVERYONE</strong> – The heart of the SnowFest is the<strong> Winter Sports Village presented by Zillertal </strong>for all sports enthusiasts and those who are new to it.
