Iconic Urban Ski Spots

Hoping you guys can help us out with a little project we are working on- We need pictures of the world's most iconic, well known, urban ski spots.

This can include wall rides, gaps, rails, ledges, taps, anything that has been seen in countless ski and snowboard flicks. The pictures don't need to be super high res or anything, they can even be screen shots from movies, etc. We just need to be able to visualize all the dope spots- Utah rail gardens, MN double kinks, that sort of thing...

Whoever emails the most to info@firstdropouterwear.com will receive a box of some free First Drop gear!

Thanks in advance,

-FD

Thanks everyone, we've already gotten some great submissions and there are a few people in the running for sure.

There are still a bunch of dope ski and snowboard spots out there we haven't seen pics of so we'll probably wait a week to announce the winner.

The more unique the feature (and the more unique the architecture and surroundings), the better!

Keep em' coming!

there was this video that might have been titled "jesus rail" but i don't know where it is. it was about this kid who had been trying to do this insanely long rail for years and he finally got it. it was ridiculous. ill post the vid if i find it, i already youtubed it, couldn't find it.

We've gotten a ton of great submissions and are getting ready to wrap up the contest in the next week.

There are still some good ones out there that we haven't seen pics of, so keep them coming!

We're really looking for the unique ones that would be unmistakable, especially the ones that have cool features and architecture around them.

We'll announce the winner in the next week. Thanks again NS!

this. best rails to never be in a ski movie. i'd go so far as to that some of them are honestly not even possible to slide the whole rail though, but i'd love for someone to prove me wrong. on a side note, what were they thinking when they were building staircases there? who thought triple s quintuple kinks would be a good idea.

Big congrats to Niklas Turku (NS member name- niknik) for winning the "iconic urban ski spots" comp! He submitted the best package of well known urban spots, and we really appreciate it.

There is a package with lots of dope First Drop gear on the way across the pond to him right now!

Thanks again to everyone who submitted pics!
