Dear friends of winter sports,
the Snowfestival 2020 in Nesselwang is a very special event.
Competitions with the slogan “Everything, that is possible in the snow”, starting with the European Cup for snowboard and alpine skiing, the German winter sports championships, an inclusive biathlon, up to the 1st German Curling Championship of the deaf sports youth. And, of course, lots of fun on and in the snow with snow volleyball and the “Snowball Fight WM”. Altogether a huge three-day spectacle with great potential to lure a lot of people into the snow.
That’s why I’m especially looking forward to the Snowfestival because it’s basically what our association needs – bundled competitions in one place, wrapped into a diverse program of entertainment for everyone. The Snowfestival 2020 gives a place not only to compete, but also for inclusion, internationality and social aspects.
This outstanding event is being realized by the German Deaf Sport Youth, led by Daniel Haffke and Axel Bräuninger, who always provide surprisingly successful events with their inventiveness and courage to enter uncharted territory. They are actively supported in their ambitious project by the city of Nesselwang and the Ski Club Nesselwang. Also part of the party is the association of the Bavarian deaf sports youth under the direction of David Holler. Thank you for your effort!
I wish the organizers a happy hand during the preparations and the execution and all participants and visitors exciting, eventful days in the most beautiful winter sunshine on the slopes and squares.
