07/November/2026
Rock A Rail goes ISPO! On November 4 and 5, Rock A Rail presented by Snowfest made its debut at ISPO Amsterdam, bringing snowboard and freeski action right into the heart of the international sports trade show. Melissa Peperkamp and Bart Poll (both NED) claimed the snowboard titles, while Alaïs Develay (FRA) and Tyler Nicholls-Stubbington (IRL) topped the freeski podiums.
Together with Jibworx, the Snowfest crew transformed Congress Square into a stage for freestyle Street-Style action. There was more at stake for the riders than just podium finishes, as Amsterdam also served as a qualifier for the upcoming Rock A Rail Tour stops. The four winners each secured a spot for Rock A Rail Innsbruck, while the top three women and men in both disciplines qualified for the Tour Finals in The Hague.
Snowboard: Dutch double victory. Melissa Peperkamp (NED) stepped it up after finishing second at the Hintertux Tour stop, celebrating her first-ever Rock A Rail victory in Amsterdam. Great Britain's Maisie Hill finished second, followed by France's Zoë Roffi in third. In the men's contest, Bart Poll (NED) took the win to complete the Dutch double. His fellow countrymen Senna van Drunen and Wouter Groot rounded out the podium.
Freeski: Alaïs Develay and Tyler Nicholls-Stubbington on top. Following her second-place finish in Hintertux, Alaïs Develay (FRA) claimed her first Rock A Rail victory of the season. Great Britain's Ella Hall also returned to the podium with a second place. Denmark's Ellen Damsgaard completed the women's podium. In the men's contest, 2025 Rock A Rail Tour Champion Tyler Nicholls-Stubbington (IRL) once again showed his skills, continuing his impressive run of podium finishes, this time taking the top spot. Yuho Kim (KOR) finished second, followed by 2025 The Hague winner Joey van der Meer (NED) in third.
From Amsterdam to Innsbruck and The Hague: Following its successful ISPO debut, the Rock A Rail Tour presented by Snowfest heads to Innsbruck, where Snowfest Innsbruck celebrates its fifth anniversary from November 20–22. The event will bring international snowboard and freeski action right into the heart of the Tyrolean capital. The Tour will wrap up at Snowfest The Hague with the grand Rock A Rail Tour Finals.
