The 9th FIS Snowboard World Championships took place from January 15-22, 2011 in the Spanish ski resort La Molina (Catalonia). The choice of the venue was made on May 25, 2006 by the members of the FIS Executive Committee during the 45th FIS Congress in Vilamoura (Portugal). The Spanish Ski Association was the only one that had applied to host the event.
It was the first time that Spain hosted a World Snowboard Championship. For the country, the competitions were the second major winter sports event after the Alpine World Ski Championships in 1996 .
