finally it is happening! we now have one World Tour. Should be pretty epic. Only shitty part is the pre qualied invite list is way smaller from each tour so a lot of great skiier's are cut out. links here:

no matter your opinion, I read this story as big mountain freeriding being one step closer to the olympics.

I would love to see big mountain make it to the Olympics, because you cant just get good at by being a gymnast. you have to be a amazing skiier to begin with. then on top of that have the back country skills and knowledge to shred big lines!

ha like that will ever happen. there's way too many variables to deal with. venue for one. do you think they could've had a big mountain comp in Lake Placid?
