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.
