It would be sick to do this in Australia. Except 90% of the skiiers there are gapers and wouldn't even know who Shane Mcckonkey.

I'd love to play gnar in Summit county, but everyone here is too worried about how much radder they are than others. That may be half of the point of gnar to make fun of that, but they're all super cereal about it. Not to mention idk how many 40 year old big mtn wannabes there are here.... it sucks.

This isn't really the same as skate. Basically, each BC line in your resort gets a set amount of points, and you get special bonuses, and you have to get as many GNAR points as possible throughout the day to win.

Sh4dowAwesome! I hope you find people to play with.


hahaha im messing with ya man, were in massachusetts and it has less than 1000 vert. weve trimmed a bunch of stuff in the trees though, and will be doing more over the summer, so maybe we could set up a points system for sketchy woods line with a 4 inch ice base depth. still will be fun

G.N.A.R. it is actually an acronym that stands for Gaffney’s Numerical Assessment of Radness (at Squaw)
