The BRITS winter snowsports festival celebrates its 20th Birthday next year when it returns to Laax, Switzerland from the 28th March – 4th April 2009. Fresh from a pre BRITS reccy out to Laax, Soul Sports chief, Stu Brass reports back on the brand new resort development and epic early season snow conditions.
Stu says,

Laax has undergone a brand new development in resort, the Rocks Resort, which has already been given a design award and will give the resort and the BRITS an ultra modern twist, including new shops, restaurants and accommodation options. The amazing snow conditions and the 40inch base layer, promises for a long season and will help to create yet another amazing snow park and freestyle arena that Laax and the BRITS are renowned for.”
