Mia Brookes and Cameron Spalding are the LAAX OPEN 2025 Slopestyle champions at the FIS Snowboard World Cup in Laax, pocketing the lion’s share of the CHF 70,000 prize money.
What a birthday present: Mia Brookes wins the prestigious LAAX OPEN in slopestyle!
Accompanied by the roaring applause of thousands of spectators along the course and in front of a unique 360° mountain panorama, she scoops her first LAAX OPEN title and as the youngest ever. Olympic champion Zoi Sadowsky-Synnott jumps into second place, Japan’s Kokomo Murase secures third place with just under a point ahead of Anna Gasser, who finishes just off the podium in LAAX for the first time in years.
Cameron Spalding also wins the men’s event for the first time. After third place last year, he is at the top in 2025. The winner’s picture is completed by 2018 Olympic champion Red Gerard (USA) in second place and Noah Vicktor from Team Germany, who, for the first time, finishes in the top three at a World Cup. “The course is awesome. I love LAAX, every year. It’s a course that’s anything but basic. The Snowpark LAAX crew always give it their special touch. It’s fantastic.” A top result for Jonas Hasler (5th/SUI).
Mia Brookes lives temporarily in Laax, is a LAAX rider and a snowboarder through and through. The victory in Laax is a dream result for both the young Brit and the organisers. Olympian Zoi Sydowski-Synnott compliments Mia Brookes, who turns 18 on Sunday: “Mia is on fire right now, riding so smooth and stylish.”
