help me out here, is it just the six or seven guys listed who are just going to get 125 large split up between them each spot just to go skiing and compete against eachother? that seems much more like a really ritzy, well funded exhibition than any kind of contest or tour... unless i'm wrong?

if by blow you mean dont use all the current ns lingo for tricks like cruton and octograb then yes, they will blow. the problem is trying to explain it to people like your parents who dont know that much about the sport but have the money and voice to get skiing halfpipe into the olympics. stfu
