 Nikita Chickita Snowdown
An open invite Slopestyle contest to all girls to be held in Serfaus, Austria April 14-15th 2007.
 Onboard and Cooler Magazine, Toasted Snowpark Technologies, Serfaus Ski Resort, Blue Tomato and Red Bull team up with Nikita Clothing for the first European Nikita Chickita Snowdown, an open invite Slopestyle contest to all girls to be held in Serfaus, Austria April 14-15th 2007. There will be some pro Nikita riders in attendance, local Austrian, German girls and more, but it’s all about the up and coming. After two successful years in the US, it is time to bring the Nikita Chickita Snowdown to Europe. The highly successful ‘sponsor me’ slopestyle event has, much like Nikita clothing, quickly gained popularity amongst girls who ride. The day long event will take place in Serfaus, Austria on April 14th -15th will see talented up and coming girl snowboarders in Europe. At the end of the day the top three qualifiers will split the prize money, but the winner will also be offered a two year contract with Team Nikita, along with some of the biggest names in woman’s snowboarding. “After two successful years in the US it is time to bring the Nikita Chickita Snowdown to Europe as well.” says Nikita´s owner and designer Heida Birgisdottir. “Female riders in Europe deserve their own event and recognition and we want to bring that to them. We want to show how good the girls actually are, and have fun doing it.” The prize money is going to be 1,750 Euros, 1000 for the winner along with a coveted two-year contract with Nikita. 500 will be awarded to the runner-up and 250 for third. This event is the first one Nikita will do in Europe and will be more focused on the girls that are coming through and trying to earn a name within the industry rather than the ones that are already competing in the bigger events everywhere else. It’s about bringing as many female boarders in Europe together, for total girl’s appreciation. They want to see the UK girls competing too, so get out there…. After a successful Nikita Chickita Snowdown in Big Bear, USA, on Friday the 23rd of February, we are ready to rock in Europe. With less than 3 weeks to go we are getting geared up. The online registration is in full swing at www.nikitaclothing.com , and we have girls already signed up for the event from Finland, Switzerland, Germany, Latvia, Czech Republic and Italy.
