It’s the first of 14 competitions scheduled for 2013-14 at Meadows, Timberline and Skibowl in the events of slopestyle, rail jam, halfpipe, banked slalom, and boarder/skier cross.  

Competitors earn points in their age groups on a national ranking system, and if they do well enough they can qualify for the nationals at Copper Mountain in Colorado in April. 

Events are open to skiers and snowboarders of all ages and are organized under the umbrella of the United States of America Snowboard and Freeski Association.
