Role Models, Spinning, The Kid & Straight Airs:The Laax Open Report
Although returning to Laax Open bears some expectable delights, like some insane snowboarding, the good coffee at NoName or the stunning snowpark; every year is different. This time finals got postponed and even cancelled. Also, traditionalists feared that by including Freeski to the Open, the contest might not be the same anymore. Well, it wasn't – but not for the worse. Buckle up for some nostalgia, the queens of snowboarding and a sobbing old man.
