This year the Knights and Queens unite for the biggest and most progressive event yet, the Suzuki Nine Royals on the 27th March - 1st April.
This year’s castle feature is more creative than ever, catering to the athletes’ individual styles while pushing the possibilities of skiing and snowboarding. It includes two main jumps, one measuring 29m from takeoff to landing, the other 23m. Additionally, it boasts multiple hips, transitions, step up quarter-pipes and the most jib options ever included on these castle features. The possibilities are literally endless.
