Its back at Laax, Switzerland again and drawing more than 500 riders to compete in halfpipe and slopestyle disciplines

Saas Fee, Switzerland
Sass-Fee is a great summer snowboard destination, but because of it's extremely high altitude it can be sketchy in winter. Local services are great with a really good vibe in the town.
Freeriding: 70% - Good but be vary of the cravasses
Freestyle: 70% - A good park and pipe
Pistes: 70% - Lot's of options
