Celebrating its 20th Birthday next year, Europe’s ultimate and longest established winter festival leaves adolescence well behind, as The BRITS prepares to hit, jib and tweak its twenties in style. Returning to the premiere freestyle resort of Laax, Switzerland from the 28th March – 4th April 2009, The BRITS is back for an unmissable winter week. As quoted by BBC Ski Sunday presenter, ED Leigh “"The BRITS is Glastonbury meets the FA Cup final on snow, and that's one hell of a recipe for entertainment".

Over the past two decades, thousands of like-minded folk have descended upon The BRITS to join in the worship of all things snow and music and score the best winter week of their lives. Born back in 1989 at Sheffield Ski Village, The BRITS has since dropped in on 14 alpine resorts, played host to internationally acclaimed DJ’s and artists, crowned over 130 British Champions and delivered more than its fair share of sun-burn along the way. 2008 witnessed the biggest and best BRITS to date and we’re not letting that stop us, we’re raising the bar even higher for next year’s double decade celebrations.
