The high-class international women’s and men’s slopestyle and halfpipe competitions, sanctioned by FIS and WSF, getting closer for all athletes and winter sport lovers: From January 15 to 20, 2018, the international snowboarding elite will have one last opportunity to qualify for the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics 2018 and have a last showdown in the Alps before heading to the East. LAAX steadily worked on their snow park and halfpipe at Crap Sogn Gion in order to shape it to perfection. The world’s biggest halfpipe (200 m long, 6.9 m high) and a huge, innovative slopestyle course await the riders. The LAAX OPEN 2018 continues a 30-year old LAAX tradition as a leader in organizing snowboard events – culture and style are just as much as a part of it as the sportive action.
