Countdown to the LAAX OPEN 2023 from January 18 to 22

Riders from all over the world are expected to take part in the contest. Among them are many top-class athletes: Olympic champions from the USA such as Alexander Hall and Anna Gasser from Austria, Birk Ruud from the far north of Norway, the most persistent competitor of local hero and world champion Andri Ragettli, as well as Australia's LAAX OPEN winners Scotty James and Tess Coady are registered for the World Cup. Swiss-Ski freestyle aces Mathilde Gremaud and Fabian Bösch are also looking forward to seeing skis and boards united at the LAAX OPEN 2023.

After the qualifying rounds, in which 300 riders from all over the world compete, the weekend of January 21/22 turns into the ultimate freestyle summit. Surrounded by the impressive mountain backdrop, the sporting program takes place around the so-called Galaaxy at Crap Sogn Gion. The best of the best contest riders amaze spectators, fans, and teammates in three finals: What incredible tricks they conjure up meters high in the air! Pure adrenaline. World class. It makes you want to jib in one of the LAAX snow parks yourself. On top of that, there is an event village, DJ sound, and live acts in the rocksresort, which round off the whole thing and make it what it is: a freestyle event that will be talked about all year round. In keeping with the motto "Freestyle for everyone," the OPEN events in LAAX have always been free for the public. This applies to both the sporting events and the live concerts by Delinquent Habits (January 18), Churchhill (January 20), Cari Cari, and MoTrip (January 21).

Further information is available at laax.com/open and laax.com, as well as in the LAAX app.
