+++ Highlights on TV on April 6th on Eurosport +++

LAAX, Switzerland (March 26, 2026) - The Snow League, founded by three-time Olympic gold medalist Shaun White, celebrated great finals of the inaugural season. Three full days of freeski and snowboard competition, 48 motivated athletes, festival vibes, music and park sessions, bluebird and snowflakes made it unforgettable.

Shaun White shared his excitement: “For me LAAX was a natural choice, they have hosted some of the most amazing snowboarding competitions here, I have competed here personally, and this halfpipe is considered the best in the world. So LAAX is the perfect place to end the season for the Snow League.”

High-flyer Kaishu Hirano set a Snow League world record: with a jump of 7.72 meters, he landed the highest halfpipe jump in Snow League history.

Superstar Eileen Gu shined with elegance, style, and technical skill at the first Snow League halfpipe night event, winning the freeski contest in LAAX and the title of the first Snow League World Champion in Halfpipe.
The youngest snowboard athlete in LAAX, 14-year-old Patti Zhou, soared an impressive 3.96 meters (13'0") high on a Cab 720 in the halfpipe quarterfinals.
Shaun White showed once more immense joy and enthusiasm for his sport during the mini-pipe session, dropping into the pipe alongside the kids and his former colleagues. To everyone’s absolute delight.

To tune-in watch Eurosport 1, where a snowboarding recap show will broadcasted on Easter Monday, April 6, 2026, at 20:00 CET, followed by the freeski show at 21:00 CET.
