Another year, another great party in the Swiss Alps. As usual, Laax was host to the Dutch Championships Snowboarding 2.0: Snowfest. A new name for the same good ol’ fun: boarding, parties, the occasional rail, contests and some more pratying to top things up.
A small selection of the week can be found in this slideshow,

Seems that quite a few people like that Alwin de Quartel photo, it turned up in the Algemeen Dagblad Newspaper last week at an article on the Dutch Ski Champs. Came out as a very nice article and I was happy to see all these images used so nicely.

Now this is the way I like it: action & party in one big event, that must be the Belgium Ski and Snowboard Open 2008. Why have a contest only when you can go big with live performances by Triggerfinger, Milkshakerz, Luc de Vos, Turntable Dubbers and the amazing guy in the green mask: Dr Lektroluv. All of this in the European Alps version of Vegas: the French partytown Les Deux Alpes.
It’s Sunday now and I have just one day to recuperate from a crazy week of snowboarding that is used as an excuse by about 850 belgiums to party bigtime! The Belgium Champs were never bigger than this, that’s for sure so it’s going to be interesting how they are going to top this one next year.
Enjoy the full series at the Snowjam website or get more info at the VSSF site. Tomorrow I’m off the the last wintershoot of this season in Swedens Åre. Pics soon!

Some images from the Dutch Ski Champs in a way too warm Austria. Besides a few too many stressed out parents it’s really a nice sport to photograph. The action looks really good really quickly and there’s plenty of atmosphere to shoot as well.
Full series coming next week.
