The crowning glory of the season for Creapure® athlete Andre Höflich
André Höflich won the German title in the snowboard halfpipe at the end of the season title in the snowboard halfpipe and at the same time the victory in the European Cup.
The last titles of the winter have been awarded: The Snowpark Kitzsteinhorn in Zell am See-Kaprun (Salzburger Land) was the venue of the Austrian & German Masters in snowboarding from 18-21.04.2023 and thus also in the category halfpipe, among others.
In addition to the national titles, the season finale was also about the overall ranking in the European Cup. As one of the best snowboarders in the halfpipe worldwide, the favorite to win was André Höflich, a native of Allgäu. Just in time for his 26th birthday, he gave himself the perfect present with this success and claimed victory in the first of the Europacups at the Kitzsteinhorn in the halfpipe - and thus his first German championship title.
"Finally. I am German Champion. Together with the victory in the European Cup, this is a really cool end to the season," said the happy World Cup ninth-place finisher.
Thus the season was successful for André Höflich, despite difficult conditions in Europe (little snow) and the USA (too much snow). Now he can relax and start his summer preparations for the 2023/24 season, and with Creapure® Power he may even soon have his first global title in his hands.
