The Burton European Open will be broadcast in live webcasts on Go211.com next week.

Webcasts will feature the halfpipe and slopestyle semifinals and finals taking place between January 11 and 18 in Laax, Switzerland.

The webcasts will be produced in Adobe Flash with live scoring, live standings, rider bios, and a live chat, where viewers can submit comments to the web announcers, as well as communicate with other webcast viewers from around the world.  Live morning shows will kick off the finals for both halfpipe and slopestyle competitions by recapping the semifinals action and interviewing riders.
