I think this very well could end up being the sickest competition ever.

I would think C.R. got bumped off and one of the alternates got the call. THere were a ton of alternates.

No plans for rails in the event, we want to foicus more on technical lines, cornices, cliff drops and booters.

B.C. has been getting their share of really good snow lately so we are all stoked. Shane Szocs has been instrumental in this event with his knowledge of the Whistler backcountry. He reports that everything is filling up just fine.

can't wait for this event to go down. sounds like it will kick ass if it actually happens. hopefully mother nature will grace Whistler with the white stuff during that time period.

Are there plans to let the public know where this is going down? So we could possibly make the trek out to watch? Cause that would be pretty sick.

since C.R isnt gonna be able to do it they should deffinatly throw in Seth he can ski big mountain better than any of the others and he can still ski kickers, not as well, but his big mountain will make up for it.
WHO SHOULD BE THROWN IN FOR C.R.

this isn't exactly seth's specialty. Seth's specialty is huge alaskan lines with rodeos, lincolns and backflips off of huge cliffs. From what i gather, this is gonna be all about smaller cliffs with small packed out lips, not really Seth's thing. While I love seth's skiing, I don't think he'd do well at all in this comp.

The idea of a waiting period is LONG overdue!

Surf comps have been doing it for years...and it allows the major events to GO OFF! anyone who has watched the pipemasters knows how good a waiting period is...

Skiing should embrace this for all freeski events, expecially the major ones like Kirkwood, Snowbiird etc....give the athletes a chance to throw down on the best terrain during epic conditions....none of this set a date two years in adavnce and push the event in shitty snow!

i was going to post this. and maybe seth didn't want to compete in this contest. maybe he had something going on then. i don't know that was the only thing i could think of for him not being there.
