Larry Boland, President of Piaget North America, looked on as top-ranked polo players hit the snow-packed Wagner Park field at the foot of Aspen Mountain for the World Snow Polo Championship.

It was an exciting round robin tournament, with Nacho Figueras leading scoring, and brothers Facundo and Gonzalito Pieres and husband and wife duo Marc and Melissa Ganzi facing off on opposing teams.

After a snowy day in this picturesque setting Figueras brought home the silver and horn trophy for his Team St. Regis. The event raised $20,000 for Sopris Charity Services and Aspen Sister Cities.
