Comps are a ton of fun dude, I competed when I was younger and they’re a great place to meet other skiers, see sick skiing and push yourself as a skier.

I have no experience with big mountain comps but comps are more strategic than you think, if you land a safety run be prepared to send yourself the second regardless if you might crash.

it can be super nerve-racking standing at the top before you drop in for your run but I promise you no one will give you shit if you fall or put a safe run down.


just have fun and send it dude- it’s what competition is all about. Fuck whatever place you get, the feeling of putting a nice run down or placing better than you expected is the bees knees.

^ what he said. Also be prepared to huck to hard snow.
Don't follow what everyone else seems to be doing, pick the line you're stoked on skiing keeping in mind that the more/bigger features you link up, will improve your line score which is the most important aspect of the judging.

Yea bro I compete ifsa and am in 15-18 category this yr. The first comp is going to be super nerve-racking so expect that. If possible try and ski the venue the day before just so you can scope it all out without seeing all competotors. Visulize your comp run a bunch in your head super important. Judges often look for a line with a lot of flow, and make sure to carve, sounds wack but they like that kind of racer controlled style. Also dont ski the gut of the run, and only hit cliffs that u know u can land. So many kids crash going super fast and wild, so stomping something solid can rlly help. Also the ifsa community is the sickest thing once u meet kids, so def try to make sum friends. hit me up on ig for any questions or anything.

Yo man this is dope! My one piece of advice is that if yo aren’t on a team and skiing independent make sure to be extra on top of things. I was on tons of waiting lists to get in a comp this past year but never even got to compete. I’m trying again but I don’t ride with a big mountain team so it’s kinda hard. You on a team or goin solo?

I expect you to compete once, realize how pathetic you are at skiing and you'll quit forever.

Or you'll do really well, your ego will inflate beyond control and you'll be suspended from competition for posting videos of yourself sucker punching people and saying racist slurs.

You can’t take Skierman seriously. The dude just trolls and 90% of the members here don’t pay attention to him. He’s like that weird uncle everyone has at their family reunion that everyone tries to stay away from but for some reason he keeps trying to make himself the center of attention.

You shouldn’t come here at all, have you read none of the replies to your posts? You hold a very un popular opinion, you also pollute every thread with negativity and insults.

Hahaha hey old timer, why don’t you relax a little. You’re triggered affffff over some words on a ski forum. Just because your panties are all in a tussle and you believe this BLM movement nonsense that you see on tv doesn’t mean everyone’s as dumb as you are. I could care less what you think of me; mr. internet warrior 😂

Edit: if you’re looking for better info from people more geared towards big mountain (Newschoolers is mostly teenage park rats) head over to TGR forums. It’s more big mountain/free ride than here.

😂😂😂 I don’t want to “derail” any more threads, but if you’d like to have a logical conversation about Jacob Blake or any other previous criminal not listening to police and getting consequences for it, I’d be down for some PM’s. If not; have a nice day and I hope when you go to call the cops, they show up because they’re not defunded ✌🏼

I've sucked Eheath off for free, quit bringing your fake news trash on this website.

If you feel you're not racist, say half the shit you've posted in a majority black neighborhood and see how well that works out for you.

I’d like to see that little kid say it to anyone in public, you, I , and everyone see him for what he is and know he’d get crippled.

heath why only ban this mtuhockey shmuck for two days? Should trump only be banned for a day or two? Cmon get rid of this doosh or make me mod I’ll do it, he’s such a pos he’s basically halfway, in or out of ,whichever you prefer, trumps ass.



@Mtuhockey33

dude I could care less about you it’s just apparent you never had a father figure in your life and I figured you could use some advice to help you thru puberty, like I said before , you talk and act like an angry pre pubescent teen , but keep running your mouth it shows your education level. I mean cmon you can’t even quote or reference anything properly, never called you a neo nazi tho you obviously are.

Have a spin and a backflip off a 20+ cliff, or you will never qualify. These comps have such a high level of skiing from the upcoming generation of skiers.

With that in mind, give it your best shot. Comps are quite a mind game. Standing at the bottom to scope your line, you get excited on sending it. When you at the top, you ask yourself: why the fuck am I here? It takes focus and the willingness to send yourself into the unknown.

Ive done a few big mountain comps and Im 33. I love the feeling of sending a sick line and arriving at the bottom shaking and stoked. I hate the long wait times at the top and the fact you gotta huck on demand.

I compete IFSA for the Aspen Club. What I've heard is that it's just going to be a bunch of smaller regional comps. We also might do some interclub comps. So for example an Aspen vs. Vail vs. Winter Park. Should be fun, but definitely no national comps.

IFSA just sent out an email regarding the FWQ series, nothing set in stone yet but it seems that most competitions will still be taking place. It's likely that the ranking system will be different though in order to prevent extensive travel, travel between Canada and the US being limited could cause a split series. Hopefully we will get another update soon once resorts confirm competition dates.
