The Blohm+Voss Ski Cup 2015, presented by the leading German superyacht builder Blohm + Voss and the high performance ski brand Foil, will be once again the highlight of an exciting programme of alpine activities, following the last session of the Superyacht Design Symposium.
The Blohm+Voss Ski Cup 2015 to be highlight of Superyacht Design Symposium
Guests will be transferred to the popular ski area of Oberndorf in Tirol – a charming village in the heart of the Kitzbühel Alps set halfway between St. Johann and Kitzbühel. Here they can take part in competitive skiing, winter games, music, Foil ski trial sessions and the all-essential après ski designed to entertain ski enthusiasts and non-skiers alike.
Blohm+Voss Ski Cup, Presented by Foil
Intermediate and advanced skiers will have the opportunity to participate in an exhilarating giant slalom ski race. Andreas Pichler, a former Austrian ski racer, will be the first to carve his way down the mountain on his Foil skis – setting the time for you to beat! With the fastest skier being presented with a fully customized pair of Foil skis and prizes awarded for style and enthusiasm, it promises to be an adrenalin-filled afternoon of good-natured competition and fun.
Foil Ski Trials
Foil skis are the result of one man’s tireless pursuit of “perfection under foot.” Alessandro Marchi, master craftsman, athlete and artist, spent over a decade researching, developing and testing Foil skis with a singular goal in mind: to create a ski of World Cup performance, in perfect balance with the body, in harmony with nature and one that aesthetically celebrates the timeless beauty of skiing.
Over the course of the afternoon, there will also be opportunity for Symposium guests to try a pair of Foil skis and experience the perfection in movement, grace, elegance and strength that this brand provides.
Après Ski
Those who do not wish to participate can cheer on the skiers from the comfort of our very own après ski lodge! At the bottom of the slope close to the finish line, the après ski area will provide spectators with a prime viewing spot for the race, complete with live commentary and music, as well as delicious Tyrolean treats, fine wines and prosciutto provided by Foil. A selection of fun winter activities will also be available to non-skiers.
The Superyacht Design Symposium
The Symposium, hosted with the support of gold sponsor Swarovski, comprises two days of design-focused presentation and debate at the exclusive Bio-Hotel Stanglwirt. A collection of the world’s leading yachts designers and internationally renowned creative talents from outside of the yachting world will take to the stage to share their experiences and contribute to a diverse range of topics.
