Where Snowboarders and Free Skiers Find Perfect Conditions and a Wide Range of Choices
"Well, we were sitting there on the ISPO, the Winter Sports Fair in Munich, to present the „O’Neill King Laurin“ Snow Park – and what happens?" Christian's eyes are shining, and his whole being radiates happiness. "„O’Neill King Laurin“ qualifies for the ISPO Snow Summit Awards because it was classed as one of the five most-beautiful snow parks in Europe!" But that isn't everything – It's now not only one of the most-beautiful, but also the biggest snow park in the whole province and the second-largest in all of Italy. "Only the snow park in Livigno is bigger," remarks Christian (whom his friends call "Stas" and who is also president of the local "Panettone Bros" snowboard club) with a note of regret.
Indeed, as the graphic illustration shows, the park is unusually large. It's a total of 1,500 meters long, and is divided into two segments. Quite separate from the normal slope operations, there is a area in the upper segment to the left of the Laurin Slope with numerous boxes, steps, and kickers for practice and warm up. It then crosses the slope to demonstrate its true grandeur in the lower segment, where winter sports enthusiasts will find high adventure. Next to a 120-meter-long half-pipe, there are several kicks, walls, boxes, and jumps where visitors can soar like a bird, and which even pros find challenging.
