The final day couldn’t have been any better. The sun was shining, the tunes were blasting, the course was looking primed, the crowds had gathered Jan. 23 to watch the finest slopestyle riders on the planet throw down.
In the women’s competition Jamie Anderson of Meyers was on fire from the get go, putting together a super technical and stylish first run which was enough to secure the gold.
The Laax Open is considered the the most important snowboarding contest in Europe.
Christy Prior showed us everything she had in her second run and Miyabi Onitsuka from Japan smashed it on her final run to take the bronze.
