Perhaps they never had permission to use the lookers left side of the cirque as the venue? That's the N facing stuff that still holds the snow.Quote:

You’re probably right though. As much as I’d love it, the WB terrain just doesn’t have the necessary pieces.
Fissile?
Is mammoth still open?
That one provoked a hearty and prolonged laugh out loud session. lolol :yourock:Quote:

Can anyone confirm if that was Kaj’s last comp run?Quote:

/pure speculation.
I think he was on the tour in 2010.
It did 20 years ago....Freeskiing world tour...the only problem was it was to gnar and they didn’t want to hold it ever again....Quote:

They seem to be handing out wild cards like tic tacs, so sounds like it might still be on?

No one is ever truly ready for mammoth. At some point you have to push through your fears.Quote:

They are still holding the 3* event on the 29th and 30th and for some reason Tahoe Freeride is still asking for volunteers on the 31st.Quote:

That link someone posted about kirkwood being cancelled is from 2021. Is the 2022 3* on the 29th and the 4* on the 31st still happening?
Sorry that was my post. But I do know they are considering to move it and because I know what resort they asked to have it at instead (I don't want to post that here) - my guess is they will have it anyways at KW even though they don't want to. Was hoping someone else would give me the heads up on what is happening. No news might mean it's on at KW.
And there is this 4* event too - I'm confused now if KW is actually the 'big' end of the year qualifying event like I thought - maybe both are?

KW event isn't listed on the FWT.com site, ha.
^^good eye gimpy. i wasn't seeing it on the fwt website either, but that's because it defaults to only showing the region 1 (europe) events. It's still happening (and apparently there's a 4* event at Big Sky today).
https://www.freerideworldtour.com/ev...ubcategory=258
edit - ^the Gurgl event is the finals for region 1, Kirkwood is the finals for region 2.
Kinda sucks that they give plenty of info for the Region 1 event, but zero info for the red headed step children over here.
The FWT website has region 1 events and the IFSA website has the region 2 events. https://www.freeskiers.org/events/ifsa-events.html Lots of action in the FWQ series right now.Quote:
