Watch: Escape Closing Cup 2024 and Wish You Were at Laax
Spring boarding. Soft snow. On-hill tunes. And a double-sided hip. The Escape crew brought together all the ingredients for a perfect spring session to Laax and the riders arrived en masse for good times and great boarding.
The three-day event to celebrate the end of the season at Laax Snowpark included not only the hip session, but also minipipe, rail, and skate jams over the course of the weekend, as well as a Super Friendly Society playground park.
While truly the Escape Closing Cup looks best experienced in person, for all of us not in Europe for this boarding party, the recap is a real solid option for living vicariously through watching the riding of Gian Sutter, Benny Urban, Mees Oostdjik, Veroniqi Hansen, Rebecca Kock, Livia Ruckstuhl, Riley Nickerson, Yung Doli, Alex Tank, and many, many more.
