BRITS rocking when they host the Giro British Big Air Championships and present The Correspondents at this year’s BRITS Music & Snow Festival, 20th – 27th March, LAAX, Switzerland.

Following on from an inspirational 2010 Big Air Championships, which witnessed the battle of the double corked 1080’s, the first landed double front-flip and showcased riders including, Jamie Nicholls and Katie Summerhayes as future international stars, the 2011 Giro Big Air Championships looks set to go off with a capital B.I.G.

Band of the moment, The Correspondents, who took the festival world by storm in 2010, sharing stages with the likes of Basement Jaxx, Bat for Lashes and Dub Pistols and will blow you away when they take to the stage at the Indy Club presented by Giro and with help from friends at Ski Club Great Britain.
