The Brits Heading Back To Scotland After 32 Years

The Brits are returning to where it all began more than three decades ago, after 30+ years of being staged in the Alps. This April the UK’s official Snowboard and Freeski Championships will take place at Cairngorm Mountain in the Scottish Highlands.

“A lot has changed over the past three decades; snowboarding is well established, freeskiing has risen in parallel, and as two of the favourite disciplines of the Olympics (and with the standard of UK riding being Olympic-medal-winning) we know this is gonna be one hell of a show!” said BRITS organizer Stuart Brass.

Taking place at Cairngorm Mountain, on 1st-2nd April 2023, 32 years after the original event,  Cairngorm  created its first halfpipe back in 1991 and the Highlands proudly boasts the highest density of decorated athletes in freestyle snowsports.

“It’s the UK’s biggest resort and our natural home.  We can’t wait to see you up there,” Stuart added.

Over the two days, hundreds of established and promising athletes will compete in the Ellis Brigham British Freeski Championships and TSA British Snowboard Championships, battling it out in the Olympic discipline of Slopestyle, plus Banked Slalom and Rail Jam titles.

Expected athletes include World Cup wonderkids Kirsty Muir and Mia Brookes alongside Olympic veterans Billy Morgan, Jamie Nicholls and Katie Ormerod, plus a whole host of British and International legends.

Ellis Brigham and TSA have played a central role in the development of the UK winter sports scene and further demonstrate that commitment by renewing its long-standing relationship with the British Championships as title and presenting sponsor.

And of course, this wouldn’t be The Brits without a pretty comprehensive off-the-hill schedule, and (as you can imagine) Aviemore will be the epicentre.

“Of what exactly? Well, let’s just say that in the history of Snowsports, no contest held in Aviemore has ever disappointed and we ain’t gonna be the first,” Stuart said.
