Surrounded by great weather and atmosphere the largest ski jumping event of the North was held on the beach of Zinnowitz on Saturday. 6,000 spectators attended the „Oberwiesenthal Snow Magic“, which was initiated by regional hoteliers and companies.
Three hours long the K4-jumping hill of the Peter Riedel GmbH was the setting for the Spa Cup Zinnowitz - incl. a qualifying and two competition rounds. Besides Jens Weissflog, who competed against the 70 enthusiastic hobby ski jumpers, Uli Wehling also attended the event as a guest. The trophy was donated by the Spa Town Zinnowitz and both the mayor and the health resort director supported the event with their heart and soul.
"We had a great atmosphere and excellent conditions, which were created by the lift operators Oberwiesenthal and the United Ski School Oberwiesenthal" says CEO Peter Riedel enthusiastically. „The ski jumping was very well supervised by the hotels of Oberwiesenthal. This event put the focus on the fact that the Fichtelberg in Saxony has snow all winter long and the ski resort is snow-safe. Even here in Zinnowitz, our modern snow cannons fired 30 sqm of artificial snow - the audience of course was thrilled with this refreshment! "
