Saturday March 1st is our Slopestyle competition. This late season competition is Mad River's final freestyle event of the season and features two distinct lines for both the experienced level competitor and the amateur level that will challenge both. With cooperation from Peak Resorts Freestyle Design Team and Mad River Mountain's parks department they put together a slopestyle course featuring both jumps and medium to large rail & box features.

Competitors have two runs to put together their best one in hopes of taking home some cash & prizes from sponsors. A full schedule and prize list will be coming out shortly so please be check back often.

Mad River Mountain's Big Air Series in 2013 became synonymous with large kickers, big crowds, and big time action. Look for two kickers to be built on the lower Mad River Ski Trail. Making it perfect for viewing from the Loft Deck or the Four Star Express Quad. Need a closer look? It's only steps from the concrete patio.

Sponsors for this year's competitions are still coming in but expect prizes from companies like Dakine, Smith, Oakley, CandyGrind, SkullCandy, and many more. This year we will also be offering up a $1,500 cash purse divided up between the Ski & Snowboard Pro categories.

Lol goepper was the only good thing to come out of perfect north. Of all the local hills Brandywine has by far the highest skill level

I would disagree, the talent level is pretty high right now. I'm not trying to start this debate up again though, so I'll just say that it's sick that the level is high at all the local resorts.

How many pros has Brandywine developed? Honest question.

I had never heard of BMBW until I joined NS.

Matt Heffernan is pretty fucking good. Same with Brad Bulzan and Freddy Brideweser. But definitely nobody on Goepper/Laker's level.

For you to say BMBW has no one on Chris or Nick's level is contradictory to this.

By the way, Perfect North riders sweeping Am slopestyle in both ski & board.

Gunther & Brandon taking first in Pro Ski Slopestyle and Big Air.

I rest my case.

That's because I said that, not him.

Brandon and Gunther are scrubs compared to my man Freddy. Check this crazy man out.

Nobody stood a chance against him in comps when he lived in Ohio. He moved out west this year.
