2024 EVENT PLAN & Format: 

This year's event will feature 2 runs through the course with 2 sections in each run.

For those looking to test and blend their freeride abilities on challenging upper mountain terrain and freestyle skills in the park, this is a truly unique event where you get to do both. Competitors will have 2 chances through both the extreme natural terrain and park sections of the course.

• The "Real" Course Section Venue: The Office - Upper Can Am, directly under the Bonaventure Quad
• The "Steel" Course Section Venue: The Rusch terrain park on Lower Can Am.
•  2 runs = 4 scores

There will be clear features that indicate where the 1st half of the run through the natural upper mountain section of the course ends and where the 2nd part of the run through the terrain park begins (competitors will not be judged during the connection between run sections). A gate will be set up at the top of The Rusch park with a queue to enter the 2nd half of the run through the terrain park.  

How it works: Competitors will be judged on line choice, fluidity, speed, trick difficulty, style, and a bit of "je ne sais quoi" appeal.

• All competitors receive 2 double-up runs. A set of Judges in The Office and another set of Judges in The Rusch park. Two scores in Real, two scores in Steel. Final score is the best score in Real combined with the best score in Steel. 
• Brackets:  Men and Women. Ski and Snowboard. 2 age brackets: 15+ or 14 & Under (ALL competitors in the U14 bracket must show ORIGINAL proof of DOB such as a Birth Certificate at registration or they will be moved up into the 15+ bracket). 8 brackets total.
