Traveling Am Contest Series

There was the Gatorade Free Flow tour a few years ago that operated like this. Pretty much had a few stops across the country, winners of each stop got flown to a "Championship" somewhere in the West Coast at the end of the season and then the winner of that got a spot in the first Dew Tour stop the next year.

It was a wicked opportunity for kids to get a feel for real competitions but obviously it was not profitable for Gatorade to continue running it.

Soon...

Or not.... IDK.

How about going to 6-10 resorts with 2k in cash and then handing it out during the day for cool tricks/call things out for people. Something fun not like a USSA comp, or whatever they have these days.

More or less what NS did years ago.

Yah that would be amazing.

The Smith/NS PWNED comp that happened at MSLM for two seasons about 5 years ago now was the dopest shit ive ever been a part of. Mr.Bishops standing at the bottom of the course just straight up handing out cash to people who were throwing cool shit is one of the fondest memories I have about growing up skiing. The contest attracted all the best skiers in Ontario and the vibes were all positive, compared to other more structured contests that I've been a part of.

There is a serious lack of competitive, non-organizational I.E. USSA, FIS, FSO (freestyle skiing ontario) etc... contests in skiing.

On that last note I do want to give a huge shout out to Sandy Boville who has brought an epic non-organizational contest to Ontario for the last two or three seasons.

BlurstYah that would be amazing.

Thats such a cool concept and would be awesome to see happen! Speaking for the midwest/Wisconsin, there is a serious lack of a contest scene in the last 5 years for skiers but all I see is are a bunch of cool snowboard contests always rolling through and its kind of sad as a skiier

Man, that feels super good to hear! I always loved doing that, and I kind of wished we had kept it up.
