The St. Regis World Snow Polo Championship is set and ready to be played through Wednesday December 18 and Thursday December 19, at Aspen Valley Polo Club, in Colorado, United States. One of the most significant snow polo tournaments of the international calendar as well a lavish event, it’s been hosted for the last twelve years by the club owners, Marc and Melissa Ganzi. The 2024 edition will see four teams up to 17 goals, in participation.

The draw was conducted on Monday night, at the sophisticated St. Regis Hotel, in an event that included the St. Regis’ traditional champagne sabering, that dates back to 1904 when hotel founder John Jacob Astor IV would nightly have a bottle sabered on-property to celebrate the transition from day to night. Astor was inspired by the glamour of sabrage, an act which had been made famous by no less that French Emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte, who opened champagne with his saber in both victory and defeat.
