Something tells me this contest is going to be a little better, and a little more important than the world superpipe championships.

yeah but that could be possibly the reason that tanner hasnt accepted yet, because he may be waiting to see if he can ski in the world superpipe AND do the comp. either that or his heels are still super fucked and he doesnt wanna mess them up.

Last I heard, Pep was having trouble getting into Canada. The border has gotten a lot tighter in the last few months.

okay...you don't know the pep and canada story do you? his ski is named the fujative because of it. let's just say that they don't dig him too much, so reply above could be sarcasm or it could actually be true. but since his girl just had a little baby, we'll choose that one.

how can you guys be disapointed with the list, those are some of the best all mountain skiers out there, they didn't pick just park skiers because they would get their ass handed to them
i say
1st Mark Abma
2nd Eric Hjorleifson
3rd Andy Mahre

I don't see how you guys can't see the talent in that list, its huge

Too bad there won't be Pep or Seth.
Weird since it's put on by k2, you'd think k2 would want them there.

Should be a sick comp, I feel bad for the guys hitting the feature in the second group of the day, I know the snow's deep and soft but the bomb holes from the first groupe are definitely going to be firming up by the time the second group rolls in, should be interesting to see how it turns out!

GO ABMA
GO TONY
and GO ERIC!


(I say Charley Ager should be on that list but that's cause I know how he skis)

This is not a little more important than the world superpipe championships. This is MUCH more important. This is the type of contest we need more of in skiing. I hope it will be a fusion of freestyle and big mountain, something where you have to be a great skier, not just a great jumper, to win. It is too bad CR will not be there, I would have picked him.

1st Abma
2nd Hjorleifson
3rd Boronowski

Where's JP Auclair?

I think this event is more important for the progression of our sport and how it will push freeskiing events to the next level. But if the WSC goes off that just might be the reason Ski Superpipe gets into the next Olympics So I would have to say that the WSC is more important until the Back 9 proves itself as a legit event.

pollards got this one in the bag, just look at anything hes ever ridden. he can throw down at any time on any feature:park or backcountry. the only other person to come close would be sage or boronowski
