Kona is sponsoring a really cool and unique event starting Friday called “White Style” at the Kona Leogang Bike Park in Austria. White Style basically creates a DH/FR course out of snow to challenge some of the world’s best riders including Darren Berrecloth, Cam McCaul, and Sam Pilgrim.

Here are some course deets from Konaworld:

Kona Clump team rider Grant Fielder promises to present a course built out of snow that is even better than last year: A start section with two different parallel drops (a high one and a lower one with a kicker on it), followed by two massive doubles made completely of snow, but also featuring a second wooden kicker for the ones who prefer a shorter transition to throw down big tricks. The second half of the course begins with a decent step up to roller and kicker step down combination, just like a fruit bowl, which is not too big, but provides the perfect speed for a more challenging satellite dish step up step down combo that guarantees some more airtime for big tricks. The most spectacular obstacle is the final big hitter, which marks the end of the course: A huge snowboard big air style kicker shooting following riders into Leogang’s sky.

For those of us stateside, Red Bull will air highlights from the event on March 6th at 11:30 pm CET on www.servustv.com. Click below for last year’s highlight vid.
