O'Neil Evolution 2008 from Davos

2-7 January 08

Major 6*TTR event, halfpipe and quarterpipe disciplines and if its anything like last years event it will be a cracker

Davos, Switzerland
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
