to get on the invite list for  the big air or the rail jam (they are both invite-only this year) you need to send a list of your top five national or intenational results to the Blue Mountain event team, make sure you include all your contact information (phone number, email)

Just a couple questions and comments for all you guys over there masterminding this event... Aren't you guys supposed to be supporting the Ontario scene? Every year this event gets bigger, which is awesome, but every year it gets harder for me and others to qualify for these events. Our spots are being taken by riders from out west or from Quebec who have access to bigger events, thus giving them better "national and international results". In case you guys haven't noticed, this is the only large event in Ontario. This is often the only "national and international" event we have access to, and alot of people can't even ride in it because they can't qualify. Support the locals, the people who are buying passes, skiing Blue EVERY DAY and pushing the scene here. Don't fuck them over by allowing other riders to come and take our spots, just because we don't have the results to qualify. I've skied in this event including being qualified for rail jam and big air the last 2 years, and Blue STILL gives me shit about qualifying for the next years event. Get your shit together and support the kids who support you.
