Red Bull Cold Rush and FWT Snowbird Highlights

Mar 14, 2011

Words: Erme Catino

The Red Bull Cold Rush is about to go down in Silverton, CO.  This unique invite only athlete judged event is hands down one of the raddest contests and is a display of freeskiing in it’s truest form.

This year 13 athletes will be competing (11 Men – Sean Pettit, Dash Longe, Sage, Sammy Carlson, Dane Tudor, Josh Bibby, Blake Nyman, Rory Bushfield, Kye Peterson, Logan Pehota, and Richard Permin and 2 Women – Suz Grahm and Grete Eliassen).  With a stacked athlete list and incredible terrain, we should see some amazing runs.

Check out the full story on The Cold Rush at ESPN Freeskiing.

Lastly, this past weekend wrapped up the Subaru Freeskiing World Tour in Snowbird, UT.  Peep the Top 3 Finals Men’s runs including Sage Cattabriga-Alosa’s highest scored run of the day.

G.N.A.R. – Inspired by Rob & Scott Gaffney and Shane McConkey

G.N.A.R – Gaffney’s Numerical Assessment of Raddness was developed by Shane McConkey and Scott Gaffney, and is based on Rob Gaffney’s book Squallywood. It is a skier’s version of the game HORSE only radder, where points are rewarded for skiing certain lines, proclaiming how rad you are, among other hilarious acts.

Last winter, perhaps the biggest organized game of G.N.A.R. went down when Unofficialsquaw.com sacked up with a $25,000 winner take all 10 day long competition.  This movie edited by Scott Gaffney documents the game and debauchery that ensued…Thank You Shane!
