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 .

Program and participants

Eleven competitions were held, five for women and six for men. In parallel slalom , parallel giant slalom , snowboard cross , slopestyle and the halfpipe both women have measured as well as men, in the Big Air only men. The competitions took place in the ski areas Alabaus and El Pedró in La Molina. Only the Big Air competition took place at the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona . Particular attention was paid to the Slopestyle competitions. It was part of the program of a snowboard world championship for the first time. If the sport debuts successfully, the IOC could finally decide to include slopestyle in the program of the Olympic Games in March 2011.

A new record was set for the number of participants. 370 athletes from 44 nations took part in the competitions. The Snowboard Association Germany SVD participated with eight athletes, five women and three men. However, no German athletes took part in five of the eleven competitions.
