The FIS Snowboarding World Championships 2011 was an international snowboarding competition held from January 14 to 22, 2011, in La Molina and Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain) by the FIS Snowboarding World Championship,[1]

All the competitions were held in La Molina, except the big air competition, which was held in Barcelona.[2]

Media and marketing

[edit | edit source]

The TV broadcast rights were sold to Eurosport in Europe, CBC in Canada, Sky A in Japan, and ORF was given the rights to broadcast in Austria.[3]

Venues

[edit | edit source]

The world championships began with the big air competition at the Palau Sant Jordi arena in Barcelona.[4] A ramp 102 feet (31 m) long was constructed on the location and an estimated 17,000 fans attended the finals of the event on January 15.[5] The remaining events all took place in La Molina beginning on January 17. La Molina is two hours north of Barcelona in the Pyrenees and is the oldest ski resort in Spain.[5]

Similar to the 2010 Winter Olympics, the La Molina venue suffered from excessive warmth which threatened the events for the World Championships. Much of the surrounding slopes were barren of snow as most of the remaining snow was piled on the courses and venues for the event.
