The World Championships at Pyhä gathers the best Para snowboarders in the world to compete against each other in snowboard-cross, banked slalom and team event. But a week with plenty of side events, Pyhä 2019 is truly a super week of snowboarding. Competitions, freeriding, test centres, work shops, after parties - you name it.

Opening & Closing Ceremonies

Opening and closing ceremonies are held on a stage in the front yard of Carlsberg House. The athletes, officials and spectators are warmly welcomed with performances of local artists and speeches from different representatives. This is where all the fun begins and this is where it ends.
