Known for hosting some of the best snowparks and contests in the world, including being home for the largest half pipe in the world, LAAX just announced the news of their fifth snowpark: The new «Free60» Natural Snowpark between Crap Sogn Gion and Plaun. And the special feature? The elements are in the natural terrain, made of wood and covered with snow.
“Freestyle and freeriding simply belong together and it was a great experience to work on such a unique project together with the snowpark team. We hope to see many happy faces in the park.”
Inspired by Travis Rice’s Natural Selection Tour, the route from Crap Sogn Gion to Plaun, now offers two different runs that consist of successive elements such as ramps, rails, bridges, pillows and pale jams. There are around 18 of them and are constructed of wood from the region by members of the piste and rescue team as well as the snowpark crew of LAAX.
For Mike Zeller from the piste and rescue team, it was clear that something like this was needed in LAAX: “Freestyle and freeriding simply belong together and it was a great experience to work on such a unique project together with the snowpark team. We hope to see many happy faces in the park.”
The park is located on an avalanche-safe slope and guests can find out about the official opening status of the Free60 snowpark on a daily basis on the live page.
