elooa Carving Camp by Nitro Snowboards

Last weekend, the elooa Carving Camp presented by Nitro Snowboards took place at Stubai Glacier for the first time after a 2 years COVID break. All participants had the opportunity to experience an unforgettable weekend with Nitro founder and co-owner Tommy Delago and the elooa coaches. Tommy looks back as a pro of the 80s on 40 years experience in the snowboard business and develops together with the team all shapes. Thus, all participants could benefit from his know- how, were able to improve their riding skills and got to know and test the individual shapes from Nitro Snowboards for free. On top everyone had the opportunity to ride with the elooa coaches & Knut Eliassen.

#VIRGILWASHERE

"Through snowboarding I was blessed to build a friendship with the superpower Virgil Abloh. He and I share the same passion for snowboarding and growing the culture, I’m very excited to share this special project he and I put together before his passing. RIDE Snowboards has given us an opportunity to create something special through the release of this limited edition Algorythm. This board is extremely limited and is sure to become a collector’s item. Proceeds from this board are being donated to two organizations whose mission align with Virgil and my vision. Proceeds are going to @hoodstowoods, a mentoring nonprofit in Brooklyn introducing teens to the outdoors through snowboarding, as well as Virgil’s Postmodern Scholarship Fund.”

Laax Open 2022: Gateway to Olympia

The Laax Open 2022 has a decisive role to play: it is the very last chance for freestyle snowboarders to qualify for the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing. Travelling from all over the world, it is for some to punch their Olympic ticket with a brilliant performance at Crap Sogn Gion and for others who already have their ticket to Beijing but are after the LAAX OPEN podium and the lion’s share of the CHF 140,000 prize money.
