2025 EVENT PLAN & FORMAT:
This year's event will feature 1 run through the "Real" course and 2 runs 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:
- For ages 15+ - The Rusch terrain park on Lower Can Am.
- For ages 14 and Under - The Rabbit terrain park on the Rabbit trail.
- The best score will be used from the "Steel" section runs.
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 Parks. Final score is the 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.
