2024 Snow Polo Event: St. Regis World Snow Polo Championship

The St. Regis World Snow Polo Championship took place between December 18 and 19 at the glamorous Aspen Valley Polo Club in Colorado, USA. This prestigious snow polo tournament, organized by the club’s founders, Marc and Melissa Ganzi, celebrated its twelfth consecutive edition. It featured four teams with handicaps of up to 17 goals, offering an exciting and luxurious event for all attendees.

A Luxurious Start

On Monday night, the elegant St. Regis Hotel hosted the draw. The event included the traditional champagne sabering ceremony, a practice introduced by the hotel’s founder, the magnate John Jacob Astor. This tradition, which celebrates the transition from night to day, was inspired by Napoleon Bonaparte, who famously sabered a bottle of champagne after each battle, regardless of the outcome.
