Nice one, this is really a great idea and really I'm amazed it's not been done like this before.

You cover everything really well, but your writing style is painful at times. Maybe that's just because it's difficult to talk about something like 'gnarly transitions' while trying to use official language.

Yeah sometimes its difficult to talk seriously about something like skiing which is not serious at all, thanks for the feedback though, Ill keep that in mind for the next part.

So the difference between events and comps is that events only have 5-15k prizes for first place?
