| GRAND TARGHEE HOST JUNIOR EVENT mRCH 22-23RD. BEST EVER!!!! |
 Hello Friends,
After many e-mails and phone calls it's finally official. Grand Targhee will host the first annual Jr Freeski Competition on Peaked Ridge the weekend of March 21-23. The terrain in really amazing up there and it's been a huge snow year here with over 37 feet fallen thus far and a base of 119 inches!
This is going to be a really exciting event and the start to forming a N. American Jr Freeski tour. A event schedule, registration documents, and venue photos can be found at:
http://www.grandtarghee.com/the-resort/news-events/events.php?item=1246
I am working to get the Day 2 venue split in half to accommodate both days. There is plenty of terrain in the here for both days of comp. We'll most likely be splitting the venue down the middle and using the lookers Right for the first day. When I finalize this I'll confirm with you all but in the meantime please spread the word and free up you schedules.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns that you might have. I look forward to seeing you all soon.
-Rob

| THE 2008 SUBARU SQUAW VALLEY FREESKIING OPEN |
elijahbird writes "The second stop on the IFSA U.S Freeskiing tour concluded this past weekend at infamous Squaw Valley, USA, and for the second year in a row the competition went off flawlessly. “We couldn’t have asked for better conditions” Spoke head judge and IFSA president Jim Norm Jack, “The athletes reached new heights this past week, and I’m not just referring to their skill levels”. Indeed, the competitors sent themselves off very large jumps, managing to land back on their skis, most of the times.

| This is the way the 2008 Telluride U.S. Freeskiing Open ends, not with a whimper |
 elijahbird writes "BUT A THUNDEROUS BANG!
Telluride hosted the 2008 U.S. Freeskiing Open, and most gracious was their welcome. There was powder aplenty, the skies broke to bluebird conditions; even the rocks seemed a little gentler than usual. Then again, maybe it wasn’t the rocks, but the prowess and skills of the competitors, who softened the edges of those rocks.
