Freestyle snowboarding and skiing require much more than just physical skills. While technique, timing, and body control are essential, the mental aspect is often the decisive factor when it comes to learning new tricks.

Around 70 contestants, perfect weather and breathtaking tricks in a beautiful setup - all this was combined at this year's Plan P. Here you can find the most important information and results of Plan P 2025!
