With under 80 days to go before the BRITS 2010 Snow and Music Festival descends upon Laax, Switzerland organisers are proud to announce that, SNO!zone – the UK’s largest indoor snow slope operator, are back onboard to take the title rights for the SNO!zone British Snowboard and Freeski Halfpipe Championships.

An impressive display of World-class Halfpipe riding was witnessed during the 2009 SNO!zone Halfpipe Championships, with riders, Ben Kilner, Sam Cullum, Dom Harington, Dan Wakeham and James Foster setting the standards and raising the bar in the men’s snowboard final. It was younger skiers, Katie Summerhayes and Tyler Jay-Harding who were pushing up through the ranks in the Freeski Halfpipe Championships whilst experienced skiers, James Machon and Emma Lonsdale dominated the top spots.

Laax’s pristine and perfectly shaped 20ft superpipe will set the stage for the 2010 SNO!zone Halfpipe Championships and with potentially the largest number of British Halfpipe riders to date qualifying for the upcoming 2010 Winter Olympics, the SNO!zone British Halfpipe Championships is definitely one not to be missed!.
