Laax, February 2, 2022. The SuddenRush Banked Slalom LAAX stands for openness. It is a cross-generational experience for everyone who wants to celebrate the most original discipline of snowboarding, the banked slalom, together with like-minded people.
LAAX is one of the best freestyle winter sports resorts in the world. This has been confirmed once again by the "World's Best Freestyle Resort 2021" award, which has been presented to LAAX for the sixth time. The rocksresort has won the "World's Best Green Ski Hotel 2021" category for the third time thanks to its conscious use of natural resources and continuous reduction of its ecological footprint. It is precisely this combination that has made the event so special from the very beginning!
No matter what age, gender, whether tall, short, famous, young, experienced, oldie but goldie or race king, weekend cruiser, Olympic champion or park shredder, pipe rider or boardercross fan – SuddenRush LAAX is open to everyone! The so-called OPEN class has always had the most entries in the last six editions. The OPEN category has also produced the best times of the day, leaving many a pro baffled and relegated to the ranks. And so, after a year of pandemic-related forced hiatus, the host LAAX is delighted to be holding the SuddenRush Banked Slalom LAAX for all snowboarders again in 2022!
In March 2022, up to 350 riders will compete in 14 categories at the 7th SuddenRush Banked Slalom LAAX on the steep course near Crap Sogn Gion at over 2,000 m.Above sea level: From the Masters (over 40s) and Pros on Friday, March 4, 2022, to the Open Women and Men on Saturday, March 5, 2022, to the Children and Juniors on Sunday, March 6, 2022. The event will conclude with the Fakie Race, where everyone will race backwards down the many curves. Dizziness and fun are guaranteed.
