Think you have the best freeride and freestyle skills around?
If you do, you can take home some of the more than $20,000 in prizes available at Jay Peak’s sixth annual Real to Steel event on March 8.
This unique event gives skiers and riders the chance to test both their freeride abilities on challenging upper mountain terrain and freestyle skills in the park.
This year’s event will feature 1 run through the “Real” course and 2 runs in the “Steel” course.
The “Real” course section venue is The Office to Upper Can Am, directly under the Bonaventure Quad. The “Steel” course section venue will be the Rusch terrain park on Lower Can Am for ages 15+, and the Rabbit terrain park on the Rabbit trail for ages 14 and under. The best score will be used from the two “Steel” section runs.
Competitors will be judged on line choice, fluidity, speed, trick difficulty, style, and what organizers describe as a bit of “je ne sais quoi” appeal.
Final score is the score in “Real” combined with the best score in “Steel.”
Event prizes include:
- 1st Place in each snowboard and ski category will win either a Never Summer snowboard or a pair of Rossignol skis, plus two 1-day lift tickets and two 1-day waterpark passes.
- 2nd Place finishers will win two 1-day lift tickets and two 1-day waterpark passes.
- 3rd Place finishers will win two 1-day waterpark passes.
- Judges Choice featuring more great prizes
- Bib Draw Raffle for two Never Summer snowboards and two pairs of Rossignol skis, lift tickets, waterpark passes, and other prizes for all athletes who didn’t place first in their bracket.
The cost to enter is $80. Registration must be completed by February 28.
