What's so special about T3BOARD08

next years snowboard tour will be open for registration shortly. A few things will be different about it, which I'll try to point out here.

Board different.

1. Location

The mountain hostel is actually at 2200 meters of altitude in the ski-area. The only way to get there (except hiking) is by gondola. That means you cannot go for dinner elsewhere and going out somewhere in Laax is also not possible. The good news is, that you'll be the first to catch freshly prepared slopes and may be even fresh pow, if it dumps some of the good stuff.

It is also very easy to get to Laax in the first place, compared to Fiesch, Les2Alpes or Splügen at least.

2. Registration

All registration will be handled by the owners of the hostel directly. No booking, payment, cancellation, billing or information will be going through anyone but them.

This will set the event committee free to concentrate on more important things, like contents during the week.

3. Date

This year the snowboard tour will be much later in the winter, or rather at the beginning of spring. It will probably be warmer and more snow. May be quite slushy though, which is fun too.
