The Snow League culminates with three days of freeski and snowboard halfpipe
competition in a final battle for points to crown the inaugural Season One champions.
NEW YORK, NY, USA / LAAX, Switzerland – September 18 – LAAX is proud to announce that it will host the fourth and final event of The Snow League, the first professional sports league entirely dedicated to snowboarding and freeskiing founded by Shaun White, on March 19-21, 2026, bringing the world’s best snowboarders and freeskiers to its legendary halfpipe. Thirty-six snowboarders and sixteen freeskiers will compete in the season finale, where the very first Snow League World Champions will be crowned.
Shaun White says, “The Snow League brings to life the kind of unified global competition I could only dream of during my career. We’ve assembled the best athletes and are now delivering on our promise to host competitions at world-class resorts.”
The legendary halfpipe at LAAX on Crap Sogn Gion mountain is a natural fit for The Snow League’s debut in Europe. Renowned for hosting world-class halfpipe competitions, the resort features a proven halfpipe shaped daily by master builder Jeremy Carpenter. Shaun White has long given his stamp of approval to this venue, most recently in 2022 when his standout performance here secured qualification for his fifth Olympic Games.
Omer Atesmen, CEO of The Snow League, adds, “LAAX is the perfect stage for the final event of The Snow League’s first season. It’s an iconic freestyle destination that reflects the creativity, progression, and community at the heart of The Snow League. We’re thrilled to crown our inaugural Season One champions here.”
This legendary location will host the final event of the inaugural Snow League season, which features a total season prize purse of $2.2 million. The LAAX event will award $370,000 in snowboarding and $250,000 in freeskiing, including a $5,000 appearance fee for all 52 athletes.
At LAAX, both the event winners and the overall Season One champions will be crowned. Points accumulated across all four events for snowboarders and two events for freeskiers will determine the first-ever Snow League champions, who will be awarded their trophies and additional prize money immediately following Friday’s freeski finals and Saturday’s snowboarding finals.
Fans can expect nonstop action throughout the competition, including sunset concerts during Friday and Saturday’s competition. All of it unfolds high up on the slopes of LAAX. Mark your calendars: March 19-21, 2026, The Snow League arrives in LAAX, Graubünden, Switzerland. Stay tuned for ticketing details—information will be announced soon.
