News about Laax 2010 – the camp of the camps – wake up on the mountain!

For the 7th year Girlie Camps are arranging camps at the highly respected resort Laax. Laax has the Absolute Top Parks of Europe, hosting events like the Burton European Open and the British Open, with 3 different parks. This is the Mecca for park riding. These parks match Mammoth, Park City and others and have been featured in the Xbox game Amped several times. Riders like Shaun White and Kevin Pearce know that to be top ranked, you have to step up to it here! Free riding is ideal in neighboring Flims, well known for steep terrain cliffs and big drops.

Girlie Camps has an exclusive set up with lodging in the Curnius building. You wake up on the mountain at 1800 m, with only 50 m to the world-famous Laax Pipe.  After 4 nights you move down to stay at The Riders Palace, a hotel specially designed for skiers and snowboarders, who like to be in the right spot.  With a Bose sound system in the hotel disco and the best DJs, you will have the best of both worlds.

Quote: Andy Threimer, K2 Snowboarding Marketing Coordinator Europe

“Teaming up with Girlie Camps is like two snowboard veterans going shred together. K2 and Girlie have been pushing women snowboarding for many years, so it’s making quite sense to ally and take the same path in the future. We’re excited to support the original women’s snowboard camps out there!”

Quote: Marika Borg, founder of Girlie Camps

“After 6 years with Girlie Camps around Europe I am so proud to start the co-operation with K2 Snowboarding. It’s great to meet the crew and riders from K2 Snowboarding. Together we will work to make the best camp ever!”
