FORMAT

In a break from the norm, The O’Neill Evolution will be using a new heat
system – based on that of a surf contest. 4-man heats will start in the round of 32 snowboarders, and from the round of 18, this will be down to 2- man heats to determine the finalists and the winner.

Changing over to this K.O. system will guarantee an exciting contest with a clear undisputed winner.

The best overall resort in Switzerland offering something for everyone. Huge pisted area and excellent freeriding spread across 5 mountains, and not to mention the terrain park and 2 halpipes. Direct train services and good local services complete the package, but go mid-week to avoid the masses.

Freeriding: 90% - Trees and excellent off-piste
Freestyle: 80% - Good pipes and parks
Pistes: 85% - Huge and varied run selection
