This was our first time at the BEO and we were far from disappointed! King hospitality, an amazing park and pipe set up, rad dudes, hot babes, vege burgers, cold beers and blazing sun pretty much sum up the extended weekend at Laax.

This is not the first time we’ve been riding up at Laax, but having Nicolas Müller‘s inside knowledge of the hill made the riding super fun. The only problem was he kept making us drink his nasty green health stuff (in between shots of Fireball).

We snapped a few snappers with the point and shoot but were lucky enough to bump into Canadian born local Aaron Schwartz (who besides taking brilliant photos is also a stunning graphic designer AND illustrator) who was shooting pictures for Suiss, Whiteout Magazine (who were kind enough to lend us a few, thanks Mo).

Here’s a short gallery from the weekend. Thanks to Aaron for the action pics, Mo for releasing them, Nico for grand hospitality and guiding on the hill, Birgit at Burton for armbands, Brusti (Absinthe Films) and Chris Bachmann (Sudden Rush) for good laughs, Greg from Burton for good style and Gregie, Nadja and Magda for good friendship!
