I’m excited for this event.

I hope next year skiing is invited to the rail jam event. Skiing is way more technical and interesting in this discipline.

Stoked that there's now a knuckle huck event for skiing. Last years snowboard event was really fun to watch even though it was only for snowboarders. Some new and creative tricks are going to be thrown down.

It is kinda weird that the rail jam is only for the snowboarders, it's common knowlegde that skiers can do way more on rails as far as pretzels and stuff, Idk why they would do it for snowboarding and not skiing. It's awesome that they're adding it nonetheless and I'll probably watch it, but it'd be great to see a skiing rail jam next year at X-Games.

FIS knuckle huck contest circuit, coming next year...

for real though, probably the same way they pick the Real Ski competitors. and apparently they have their finger on the pulse cause the Real Ski roster is always sick

imma be honest though, its more fun to watch snowboarders do a disaster to tail slide over skiing rail jams, but yeah there should be both, there both fun to watch though.

Should be pretty spicy. Not sure what Wallisch will bring to it but at least I’ll get to watch those beautiful landings.

I’m pretty stoked on this, I remember watching the snowboard event last year with some friends visiting from LA. It was literally the only XGames event they were interested in watching. I think if this is well promoted and is as loose and fun as last years sb event, it could be really good for the sport. Good mix of styles among the skiers, too.

Agreed. There's only so many variations to a lipslide that can keep me interested.

(I do fucking love a good method tho...)

An elite trick.

I’m in complete agreement though, snowboarding doesn’t come close when it comes to the level or variety of tricks.
