Just thought I would let you know that it is in the works, I did not think we were ready for it yet but I did a lot of thinking and decided that I think we can make it work.
As soon as I have more info on this I will let everyone know, but my goal is to have a World Tour with Qual tour in North America and Europe up and running by next fall.

And for those who think its bad to see pros on the top of Open events, think about it, I am sure its more fun for an AM to get 6th in a field with pros in it then to win an event with no pros in it.

If you cant compete against them, how can you beat them and become one of them??

BTW any ideas what the name of the Tour should be?

This is awesome. I can't think of a good name because it's way too late to be awake and thinking, but I'm still stoked.

Agreed. It is simply not feasible for a qualifying tour to go to only the best places, especially when it is supposed to be catering to the ams with little or no income/sponsorship. Therefore the tour must be designed around the competitors, not the other way around. in surfing, the CT has 10 events(i think) and the QS has about 50 or so. this would work well in skiing because it would let athletes from everywhere have a fair go, not just the ones near sick parks.

The Pond Jumper Tour, cause you know Europe is just across the Atlantic Ocean from North America, so if there is going to be events on both sides your jumping the pond

that sounds like a brilliant idea, travel the whole world, go to the best parks and pipes, find the best cliffs....the possibilities for a world tour are endless..

Just keep it simple "The Tour" or Olssons World Trip lol

NS is all the skier on the World Wide Web.
Your tour should be all the skier competing in the World Wide Open.

Thank you. I was beginning to think no one here had any idea that there's a whole other side of skiing where the term "freeskiing" actually came from.
