Just found this out the day before yesterday myself. Sounds like the company we hired to put on this event couldn't secure sponsor money to put it on. Lame!

I was excited to build a sick course. Oh well, sounds like Alpine is going to go it themselves next year and try to make it happen.

I was so looking forward to this... it's a shame it couldn't happen. But don't let it stop you from building an awesome course just for the fun of it, Jonahs! The park is sick as is, and I think it could hold its own as a contest course if you just switched up the rails a bit.

honestly, i would still pay to do this comp if the prize money was a considerable amount smaller, even if it were for just a pair of skis, or just the title! I have always hoped for an open competition in Tahoe like this, and even more so a slopestlye on HUGE jumps in Tahoe, especially one at Alpine were I knew the jumps would be perfect

So they are going to do it as a triple air on Red trail. It's going to be something like a 30-50-70 line. We'll build one more jump above the double line next week. $12,000 prize purse, 6 to skiers, 6 to boarders. 100 dollar entry. Sign up now online to save a spot.

Jonahs, you are the man. Extremely the man, and not the man we all hate and try to evade, the good man.
