2026 Breckenridge Snowboard 40th Anniversary "New Worlds" Championship

THE NEW WORLDS

Celebrating 40 years of Snowboards at Breckenridge!

Friday, April 17 to Sunday, April 19, 2026

Peak 8 Base

A NEW Competition with an ode to snowboarding's pioneer years. Join us in Breckenridge, April 17–19, at The New Worlds to celebrate the 40th anniversary of one of the most pivotal moments in snowboarding history: the 1986 World Snowboard Classic.

“The Worlds” quickly became snowboarding’s defining global event, pushing and expanding what was possible to help secure snowboarding’s place at resorts and lifts worldwide. It wasn’t just a contest for the world’s best riders, but the gathering place where the entire snowboard industry came together to evolve equipment, attitudes, and culture. Its massive exposure drew a new generation of riders to Breckenridge in the early ’90s, fueling the new school progression that shaped modern snowboarding into what it is today.

Held in Colorado’s perfect spring conditions, The New Worlds honors and celebrates 40 years of Breckenridge snowboarding 's past, present, and future with a full weekend of community-driven contests, including a hand-dug halfpipe, plus cultural events and parties that bring the snowboard community together in Breckenridge once again.
