Julia Baumgartner wins Austrian Open!

Congrats to new K2 signing and long time Nikita snowboarder Julia Baumgartner (possibly one of the nicest people I've ever met): she won the Women's Slopestyle at the Swatch TTR Three Star Austrian Snowboard Masters on Sunday in Kuehtai, Austria!

The defending champion, Julia impressed the judges for the second year in a row - despite rain and poor conditions - by going huge, beating best mate Conny Bleicher to take the final NASA Austria Cup Tour Title after twelve stops this season.

The win puts Julia - a student at Innsbruck University - at number 11 in the current Swatch TTR World Tour.

For the men, fellow local Patrik Huber won the men's Austrian Master Title after charging through Qualifiers. After being resecheduled from Saturday to Sunday, due to strong winds, the Halfpipe contest - the second installment of the Austrian Masters - was then cancelled due to increasingly bad weather.

Look out for Julia at the infamous Aesthetiker crew's Swatch TTR 5 Star Waengl Taengl - this weekend in Mayrhofen, in the Zillertal region, Austria!
