In the '70s, there were "hot-dog" contests followed by extreme pursuits in the '80s and '90s. Now, as more and more kids hit terrain parks, freeriding and freeskiing contests and Vacation ideas are on the rise. In fact, slopestyle is now an official Olympic event, scheduled for the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.
In these events, skiers and snowboarders put together a series of tricks such as spins, corks and grabs that show off their skills in the air. However, you do not have to go to the Olympics to catch the pros. From the Dew Tour to Nike rail jams to the Burton US Open, there are plenty of events in the East spotlighting amateurs and professionals. Most take place right on the slopes, so you can ski and spend time watching the athletes and enjoying the carnival-like atmosphere. This Saturday, Camelback hosts Nike/The Chosen, a snowboarding and freeski rail jam with a $3,000 purse for top winners. There will be lots of lights, music and, of course, action, starting at 5 p.m.
Skiing Rock!!
