Thanks to a long history, the CHAMPS is the rendez-vous of all generations. !It’s about all moments and emotions to share!

Today's Snowsport scene is overloaded with competitions and tends to loose touch with the soul of freestyle.!The CHAMPS minimizes the emphasis on ranking points, competition pressure and calendar conflicts and offers a unique event platform centered on the pure enjoyment and of Snowboarding and Freeskiing.
