Yeah, everyone knows Laax
in the Swiss alps. Great park, many rails,
huge pipe. But Laax is also one of the best
freeride spots in Switzerland. Roman Fässler
has lived there since his birth, and he definitely
knows where to go if you need fresh powder
and steep runs. (That's also why he is riding
for Mammut, Santa Cruz, and CP).
So I asked him his personal ABC. What he thinks
about some given aspects. Read what he thinks
and see the pics. Only powder. Hell yeah,
winter is coming!!!
