Laax´s park is so sick, probably best in europe. Last year they had like 20-30 boxes/rails, sick pipe and nice kickerline. And the setups are always great.

You're the kiwi who was in ski school right?

Yeah Laax is sweet... Nice kickers, boxes and halfpipe.
Oh and some nice off piste, it's pretty damn huge.

consesus on the park in laax is that its one of the best in europe... enough to say its probably in the top 5. people can argue all day long about what order that top should be, but don't sweat it... you'll get the usual Alps insane BC terrain to go play in.

In the latest Skiing magazine the test arguments were:

pro: Best pipe, lots of rails and boxes (approx 30), early season due to the glacier
cons: the kickerline isn't that good, long way to the lift


And yes you are right people can always argue :)

yes but at the spring session last year they made the park from the top of the lift to the bottom (a fucking long way) and they say they will do the same this year but earlier.

best park i have been to in europe, and I have been to quite a few....but at the end of the day, a park is a park and its what you make of it.

Its defintely the best maintained park in Europe.. the work on the pipe is unmatched... the kickers and boxes are always beautifully shaped... which isnt usually the case in Europe. This level of dedication and professionalism I've only seen in Snowpark.

Either way, the other big players like for example Avoriaz and Les 2 Alpes, they have a lot of cool stuff set up, but the shaping isnt nearly as consistent.

They also make the Zermatt crew look like complete amateurs.

'best park' is a matter of taste I guess, but when the Laax kickerline runs all the way down to the chairlift in spring, thats over 2 km of kickers, thats INSANE.

but we should stop hyping Laax everywhere before it gets as crowded as Snowpark NZ.
