About The Legends World Tour

Individual Legends Snowboard events have been popping up worldwide for at least 25 years! As the first string of grassroots and international World Cup riders continue to shred into their 40’s, 50’s 60’s, 70’s, maybe even their 80’s, we find a need to accommodate these diehard riders in providing a space for them to continue to enjoy sharing themselves, international comradery, and competition.

The Legends World Tour “LWT” celebrates the true international history of snowboarding by selectively integrating its races into already iconic Legends events, such as the Legends of Tahoe, Soda Springs, Ca, USA and the Long Board Classic Stuben/Arlberg, Austria. Riders and spectators will experience local snowboard history when they participate in these iconic events as they were created by some of the founding fathers of the sport at their home mountains. Following the tour provides a unique opportunity to discover international snowboard history firsthand from the people who lived it.

The LWT ignites a true global movement and welcomes legends past, present and future. We are doing this because we believe that “Legends are Forever”. As we lose our Legends riders, those of us who remember them will share their stories. This is where current legends honor their founding fathers and inspire future generations, who in turn, become legends themselves and so on.

Long Board Classic, Chinese downhill. Stuben, Austria Saturday, April 13, 2024.

More about the Long Board Classic: Snowboarding legend Paul Gruber started the annual Longboard Classic in 1999 at a time when snowboarders were firmly seen as outsiders on the slopes and certainly weren’t welcomed everywhere. The Longboard Classic developed into a huge event and is still the largest and best-attended snowboarding race in the world. Described as the ‘Woodstock of Snowboarding’, generally because of its open-minded and fun spirit, the race invites riders from all ages to compete in one of three categories: LBC Master, LBC Old School and LBC No School.
