Rossignol Create It
After the huge success of the 1st edition,during which more than 8,500 people participated and more than 12,000 voted, CREATE IT strikes again! For the 2006-07 season, CREATE IT -the exclusive international ski graphic contest- again gives you the opportunity to express your creativity.

For its second edition, CREATE IT proposes a new challenge on the Freestyle scene.
Your mission: Design a PRO MODEL for one of the best freestyle riders on the Rossignol team: Candide Thovex, Andreas Hatveit, Sage Cattabriga... choose your favorite skier and go to work!!!

Imagine your favorite athlete in the park or in the backcountry, skiing across the world with the skis YOU created!

Are you ready to give it a shot? Your tool of choice doesn't matter to us...whether it be colored pencils, finger paints, or high-tech graphic software. What counts is imagination!

Be a part of this new trend created by Rossignol!!!

The 20 finalists will receive a reward.
The three best graphics, hand-picked by the Rossignol freeski team, will be produced as a limited Scratch skis edition for 2007/08.

The threesome winners reward: A round-trip adventure to Whistler during the April 2007 Ski & Snowboard Festival, where you will honoured at our awards ceremony, and given a pair of limited edition Scratch skis with your custom graphic, as well as 1,500 ยค in cash and prizes.

Get inspired by your favorite rider's style and personality, and create an original graphic with their style in mind! You have until Christmas to show your talent. The countdown has begun...

^Just copy the ski to make two. Delete all the image within the ski to just leave an outsline, use that as the base.

Does anyone know if the ski is a Scratch BC? it looks wide.

I opened the template up in Photoshop, cause I dont currently have illustrator. I'm having the same problem, the template is small as hell and when I zoom in, it gets blurry and looks gay. There is one top sheet of a ski pictured, thats it.

Maybe they just put a crappy template up or I need illustrator?

its not a typo... full length(182cm long) file at 300dpi is the same thing as 18.2cm long file(which is 10% of full length) at 3000dpi
