From the article on the front page, "“Mammoth's event this year plays a role as freeskiers will be focused on earning enough FIS points to be eligible for Olympic selection, so the Mammoth event will be the first time people have had an opportunity to do that in the U.S.,” said Grand Prix Tour Director Eric Webster."

I was under the impression that your FIS points do not matter until next summer at the earliest because only points from the year before the olympics count towards qualification. Can somebody explain why this years Grand Prix would matter?

Why do you think its only the points from the year before that count? I thought they carried over, but i may be wrong.

i would like to learn more about this point system and the olympics. I heard that dew tour doesnt count at all
