For the third time in a row, Kitzsteinhorn hosts the world’s biggest snowboard event for girls only: from December 12 to 14, 2008, the 6th Roxy Chicken Jam Europe will take place at Zell am See-Kaprun, Salzburg County, Austria. At the Glacier Park on Kitzsteinhorn, the planet’s best female snowboarders will fight for the US$ 50,000 prize-money as well as vital points for the Swatch Ticket To Ride (TTR) Women’s World Snowboard Tour.

The Roxy Chicken Jams at Kitzsteinhorn at the beginning of the winter and at Mammoth, USA, at the end of the season are 6-star events and the most important competitions of the TTR Women's World Snowboard Tour – while the winter kick-off in Kaprun sets the course for a successful season, the female world champion will be crowned at the Roxy Chicken Jam USA. With 1,000 points for the overall ranking respectively, the winners can distance themselves from their competitors.

At both events, the snow park and the event format are specially tuned to the girls’ demands. The slopestyle competition at the Glacier Park Kitzsteinhorn will be held in a jam session format. This leaves a lot of freedom to the riders as they don’t have to stick every trick in one single run. Hence, they can try more creative moves. The jury only rewards the best runs. The judges look for the execution and style of the tricks and how the rider uses the single elements of the park. 25 invited riders plus the best five riders of Friday’s qualifications will take part in the Main Session on Saturday. Subsequently, eight riders will compete in the finals.

Among the invited stars are last year’s winner Cheryl Maas (NED), TTR 2008 world champion Jamie Anderson (USA), 2007 world champion Torah Bright (AUS) and Olympic gold medallist Kelly Clark (USA) as well as top riders like Claudia Fliri (AUT), Kjersti Buass Oestgaard (NOR), Sina Candrian (SUI), Jenny Jones (GBR), Silvia Mittermüller (GER), Lisa Wiik (NOR) and Ellery Hollingsworth (USA).
