The Swatch TTR 6Star Burton European Open Snowboarding Championships 2010 went down last week in Laax, Switzerland. 08/09 TTR World Snowboard Champion Peetu Piiroinen won the slopestyle with style and consistent runs, closely followed by Norwegians Mikkel Bang and Gjermund Braaten. Scandianavian podium dominance could only be stopped by Switzerland’s Iouri Podladtchikov. Check out the photos in the slideshow above and keep your eyes glued to www.ttrworldtour.com to find out what happens next at the 5Star Canadian Open, the last big TTR Event before the Olympic Winter Games 2010 in Vancouver go down.

Will Peetu with his huge points lead be able to hold on to the No. 1 position once the US boys get back on the Tour in the end of February? Right now, Finland and Norway take 1st and 2nd in the TTR top nations ranking, America in 3rd. That might be the first time ever. For the girls it’s equally, if not more exciting. Sarka, Sina, Lisa, Cheryl, and Cilka are only little points apart and double 6Star Slopestyle Champion 2010, Enni Rukajärvi is hot on their heals.
