Impact Playground<\/h2>\n Three days of riding, creativity, and good vibes.<\/span>\n <\/div>\n
From March 7 to 9, 2026, the resort of Ch\u00e2tel came alive to the rhythm of a truly unique event: Impact Playground. Held in the Ch\u00e2tel snowpark and driven by the resort alongside rider and shaper Tristan Iwulski, the event celebrated Freeski culture. Far from traditional competitions, it embraced a format focused on personal expression, technical skill, and sharing among riders. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Beyond the spectacle on the features, Impact Playground embodies something deeper: the vitality of a freestyle culture that, since its rebellious origins in the 1990s, has never stopped reinventing itself. Freeskiing is \u043f\u0440\u0435\u0436\u0434\u0435 all a mindset: that of riders who see the mountain not as a marked-out area, but as an endless playground, where every bump, every rail, and every kicker becomes an opportunity for expression. <\/p>\n

This culture has its own codes: sessions with friends before competition, attention paid to style as much as technical skill, music accompanying each run, and circles that spontaneously form at the base of a feature to watch, encourage, and challenge one another. Impact Playground doesn\u2019t just showcase all of this, it ‘s a direct expression of it. <\/p>\n

At a time when freeskiing is gaining visibility through major international competitions and social media, events like this play a key role: they remind us that the discipline is first and foremost built from the ground up, in human-scale formats where creativity takes precedence over results. Three days, a snowpark, riders from all backgrounds, and a shared belief that sliding can also be an art form. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
