It gives us great satisfaction to announce that The BRITS will again be entering into the warm, welcoming arms of LAAX, the freestyle wonderland of the world, for the British Snowboard & Freeski Championships 2017 with holiday packages now available online.

During the week, riders have the chance to spectate or compete at the British Championships in Halfpipe, Slopestyle, Snowboardcross/Skiercross, and back after 4 years courtesy of our new friends, the Picture Organic Clothing Big Air.

British Olympian, and the first man to land a quad cork, Billy Morgan had this to say of the news - “It’s great to have the Big Air back at The BRITS. It always had the best vibe, and was the event that threw me into the spotlight back in 2010, so yeah, I’d love to come back and reclaim the crown.”

Picture Organic Clothing have become one of the major breakthrough brands of the last decade, driven by unwavering environmentally-friendly values, they have collected a haul of International Innovation Awards along the way. So it seemed fitting, with their strong recycling philosophy, that they should be the brand to revive the British Big Air Championships for what promises to be a world-class showdown.

Also newly on-board this year is Delancey, the specialist real estate investment company, who are also principal sponsors of British Ski and Snowboard. Delancey will offer a bonus prize pot of £3000, rewarding the best overall male and female for both Ski and Snowboard across all disciplines.

Equally, the continuing support from LAAX ensures that we give our promising young athletes the very best competitive experience and attracts Team GB athletes including Olympic stars Jamie Nicholls, Katie Summerhayes, Billy Morgan, Madi Rowlands and many others.

It’s common knowledge that LAAX leads the world with its freestyle set-up, and has just been voted ‘Switzerland’s Best Ski Resort’, for the 3rd consecutive year. Additionally, and very much in line with Picture’s ethos, LAAX have launched ‘Greenstyle’, its bold vision to become the world's first self-sufficient winter resort and offer guests a fully sustainable holiday by reducing emissions and waste, and increasing renewable energies. Epic riding and a conscience – LAAX just keeps getting better.

Accommodation and Lift Pass Packages for this memorable week run Sunday 2^nd – Sunday 9^th April and are currently available with up to 55% off some of the typically plush accommodation. For further information, bookings and competition registration, head to www.the-brits.com
