 IFSA WILL MISS JIM BENNETT…

General NewsThe IFSA lost a great friend and huge supporter today. Jim Bennett, father of Cliff and Lexi Bennett, was killed in a mining accident in Colorado.

As a father of two of our sports most passionate competitors, Jim was always sharing his excitement for the sport of competitive freeskiing and shared in his family’s success in the sport. Often Jim would call me through the summer months to share his ideas and express his enthusiasm and support for the IFSA and efforts to progress the sport.

When I would be on the road to the next event I could almost always expect a call from “Jimmy” or “Jimmer”( as I would often call him). We would talk about how excited he was for the future of the sport and his excitement for his kids performance’s etc. He loved to watch them compete and his phone calls were always reinforcing to me. He knew the difficulties of our job and was sometimes that voice I needed to hear after a long week of judging. I appreciated him as an involved parent and friend. He will be greatly missed by all of us at the IFSA and always remembered. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Bennett Family through this difficult time and we send you much love and support.

Rest in Peace dear friend…

 JFT UPDATE AND INFO

Jr. Freeskiing News and EventsHello everyone,

The IFSA is excited to announce the successful start of the 2010 Junior Freeskiing Tour last weekend at the COWBOY UP Freeskiing Challenge at Stevens Pass, WA. Despite the challenges of dealing with the fog, judges and athletes worked to make the event happen by laying down some great skiing and judging on slope with a split judging format in very difficult visibility. This is never the Ideal format and is always the last resort when weather happens.

The organizers and judges would like to thank all the athletes that competed for their excitement and passion and all the coaches and parents for their enthusiasm and support for these young athletes. With everyone working together we were able to get 2 runs in on Sunday and get this event completed rather than the alternative of canceling the event all together. We appreciate your sportsmanship and understanding with the adverse conditions combined with a subjective format. We as organizers and judges work extremely hard to provide these events and opportunities for the juniors and all freeskiing athletes and appreciate everyone for being a part of it. Looking forward to seeing all of you at the next JFT event.

We would also like to announce that the Big Sky junior event has been canceled and we are working on a great event there for 2011. Please check the schedule to see the new link for the Crystal Mt. Junior Freeskiing Championships.

Best regards and be well!

Jim Jack
