The LAAX OPEN stands for freestyle par excellence. With 1,500 accredited people from all over the world – including world champions and Olympians as well as volunteers, service staff, judges, media and sponsors – Europe’s most important freestyle event is starting its 10th edition with record-breaking numbers. CHF 210,000 in prize money for the best freestylers at the FIS Freeski & Snowboard World Cup Laax, 60 side events in 18 locations, 10,000 people at the halfpipe night final on January 18, 2025 and thousands of runs through the slopestyle course. It’s all set at the multi-award-winning “World’s Best Freestyle Resort”!
The freeski ladies have the honor of opening the anniversary edition on Tuesday. The two top stars Eileen Gu and Mathilde Gremaud will live up to their role as favorites and show how stylish it can look to ride and fly trickily through the slopestyle course. That makes you want more!
And there will be: Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are the preliminary rounds for women and men on both courses, the slopestyle and the superpipe – clearly visible from the mountain station at Crap Sogn Gion as well as from the P60 piste for freestyle fans and those who are sure to be after the 10th LAAX OPEN.
