that would be dope if they had a slopestyle comp in the BC out of like gaps, and cliffs, and shit... like chads gap into a jump off a 25 foot cliff, into a rail over a small creek... into a big foot stepdown finishing with a big stepup. that would be a fun comp

It is unfortunate nature is rarely designed perfectly for this. A BC comp would be sweet though if there was a place for it. Iw would also be unfair to those who went last because the powder would be gone from all the landings.

^^ no that is a big mountain comp... i am saying take the US Open, and have that in the BC, like build jumps off cliffs, and have gaps similar to chads only smaller and have rails off cliffs and over rivers and shit...

Check out the winning run from Roman Maitre at the 2004 Snowbird IFSA NA Tour stop. Couple inverts and a spin in a big mountain line? Good enough for 1st place!

ugly snow girls response wasn't dumb, and tosh's was an easy mistake.

That video is sick, as are those events. We need one of those where I ski, shit that'd be so awesome.

romain's run is kinda what i am talking about... but instead of just a mountain? he would have jumps off all those cliffs... and rails down some, and other creative shit like that... with the addition of the jumps then people could throw their tricks, not just 360s and backs... and people could carve switch down...etc

The rad thing about IFSA comps is that style isn't a scored thing -- that's why I do them!

Lots of big mountain riders DO incorporate 'terrain park tricks' into their lines. Anyone who thinks my response was dumb has obviously never skied real 'BC.' It's all about taking your tricks out there.

If I had to guess which of Matt Walker's sponsors would still be in business 18 years later, it wouldn't have been 4FRNT. Good god, this country is going to shit.
