Hey everyone,
The first stop of The North Face Park and Pipe Open Series (which also happens to be the first halfpipe contest of the 2012/2013 season in North America) takes place this weekend at Copper Mountain, and I wanted to pass along the list of athletes who will be competing, because it's STACKED!
Included in this list is almost all of the top competitive female freeskiers, the entire Canadian Halfpipe Ski Team, all four Wells brothers, and competing in his first halfpipe contest in the US in close to four years, Tanner Hall.
So if you're in the Copper area this weekend, be sure to check it out (head on over to thenorthfaceppos.com for the schedule), and stay tuned to Newschoolers for coverage on the event.
