Event History

“You got to ride for the right to party”. Famous lyrics like this go hand in hand with the NESCAFÉ CHAMPS Leysin 2011. Since 1992 the CHAMPS has rock & rolled the Swiss French resort of Leysin and next February 2011 we’re gonna rock the house yet again. That’s right, the CHAMPS will be celebrating its 20th anniversary with a no holds barred attitude both on and off the slopes.

Picture yourself in the start gate and it’s the last run of the final, your pulse is racing, the crowd is screaming, the music’s pounding and you.... It’s “Do or Die”, “Make or Break”. Win or loose there is only one way to go. Just have fun and enjoy the ride. The CHAMPS is the oldest freestyle snowboard contest in Europe. The event is mythic in its own right and now more than ever the infamous Slopestyle course with a fully integrated Superpipe, makes this competition one of the most challenging and original on the TTR World Snowboard Tour.

Don`t forget This year we will have the women's category in the Open competition, the Legends Banked slalom for the VIP,s and Previous winners and Masters Slopestyle for all over 30 year olds who want to shred up the course on the last day. See you there.

Peetu Piiroinen (FIN) and Jamie Anderson (USA) were officially crowned the 2010/11 Swatch TTR World Tour Champions at the 29th annual 6Star Burton US Open today. After their amazing performances throughout this 10-month long season, they were each rewarded with the TTR Champion trophies and $50,000 USD along with the glory of both becoming multiple TTR World Tour title-holders.

The Burton US Open is the last major stop of the 2010/11 TTR World Tour season and played host to the official Swatch TTR World Tour awards ceremony at the close of the event.This season, Peetu competed on three different continents and did not discriminate when choosing what types of events to attend. Peetu does it all and does it all well. He began this season in Asia at the 6Star Shaun White Oakley Air & Style in Beijing, China where he placed fifth in the big air competition. From Asia, he moved on to Europe where he took fourth place at the 6Star O'Neill Evolution halfpipe in Davos, Switzerland. Peetu found himself back on the podium when he took down the 6Star Burton European Open halfpipe title and placed second in slopestyle. And, at the 6Star Billabong Air & Style in Innsbruck, Austria, Peetu took another second place. Just one week later, he won the 6Star Nike 6.0 Air & Style in Munich, Germany, which was the result that ended up clinching his TTR World Tour title for the 2010/11 season.Jamie dominated in the 2010/11 season claiming victories on slopestyle courses all over the globe, starting off with the 5Star New Zealand Open and the 6Star O'Neill Evolution slopestyle competitions. She went on to win the 6Star Burton European Open and the Oakley Arctic Challenge slopestyle events, which set her high above the rest of her competitors. Her second TTR World Tour title was confirmed at the Burton US Open where she took second place in slopestyle.

NESCAFÉ CHAMPS LEYSIN 2011 - 20 years of snowboarding

A big week is in store for the 5Star NESCAFÉ CHAMPS Leysin as the event prepares to celebrate its 20th anniversary. This event has brought many young talents into the limelight and continues to do so with its progressive slopestyle course that includes a superpipe into the setup. Top male and female athletes from all over Europe will be heading to Leysin, Switzerland next week from Feburary 5th to 8th 2011, to compete for a share in the $50,000 USD prize purse and a maximum of 850 Swatch TTR ranking points on offer. The finals for both male and female riders will take place on Saturday, February 12th.Top Riders Invited to CompeteWith an open qualification system, the NESCAFÉ CHAMPS Leysin offers an opportunity for the up-and-coming talent to qualify into the semi finals and measure their skills against the invited riders. With the creatively mixed course, only the best overall riders will make it to the finals and top riders will be heating up the action. The course starts off with a table with 3 options, followed by a hip leading into the 130 meter long superpipe and finishing off with another table with 2 options and a quarter wall-ride in front of the crowd. In the line up this year are a host of top riders such as current Swatch TTR World No. 17, Jan Scherrer, one of Austria's new rising stars who recently took his first 6Star podium with a third place at the O'Neill Evolution halfpipe in Davos, Switzerland in January and he also took sixth in slopestyle last week at the 4Star Stimorol Engadinsnow, showing his skills as an all around solid rider at the tender age of 16. Jan will face some tough competition from fellow up and coming rookies such as Swiss ripper, Pat Burgener, as well as Finnish rookies, Sami Luhtanen and Petja Piiroinen, the younger brother of reigning TTR Champion Peetu Piiroinen. Also on the riders list are some seasoned riders such as Swiss style master, Gian Simmen and Risto Mattila (FIN), who recently placed 9th at the 4Star Red Bull Nanshan Open, in China.
