The biggest all female snowboard event begins tomorrow with an all new location and schedule, as the 6star TTR Roxy Chicken Jam (European Leg) contest gets underway in Saalbach Hinterglem. 

From January 8 to 10, global female pro snowboarders will be shredding the night park in Saalbach Hinterglem for the jam's seventh edition. It's a big change from the glacier location of Kaprun, Austria of recent years - which, with the event being held early season often suffered from lack of snow or high winds, and the high altitude meant spectator numbers were often small - this year the park is just 200 metres away from the village. 
So far riders confirmed to compete in the 6 star Slopestyle contest are Cheryl Maas, Kjersti Buass Oestgaard, Janna-Meyen-Weatherby, Sarka Pancochova, Lisa Filzmoser and more - with music from Bunny Lake and the Wax Wreckaz soundtracking the Roxy Jam's renowned parties.

And, for 2010 the Roxy Jam will also be a carbon neutral event: the emissions produced from making artifical snow, use of grooming vehicles, the concert and journeys to the event will be offset with the Suddenrush Atlantic Rainforest Institution. The SRAFRI work to preserve rainforest on the Brazilian Atlantic coastline and maintain sustainability (www.atlanticrainforest.org).
