Although we like to keep up appearances, skiing and snowboarding have always been locked in a battle for winter sport supremacy. For years the war has been waged out on frozen battlefields, but we’re pulling back the curtain, bringing it to your computer screen and giving you the power to decide the outcome. When the snow settles, one photo will be left with glory, bragging rights and a sweet prize pack from Blue Mountain Resort and its sponsors.
