2026 EVENT PLAN & FORMAT: 

This year's event will feature 1 run through the "Real" course and 1 run in the "Steel" course.

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 run 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.

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

• Judges will be in The Office and the Park. Final score is the combined score of your "Real" run and your score in your "Steel" run.
• 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.
