The Snowmass Freeride Championships are just days away! Feb.26-28, 2010

Get ready to see some of the craziest, biggest, most dangerous runs you could possibly ever see during the Snowmass Freeride Championships sponsored by Helly Hansen. Some of the best riders and skiers come out for this adrenaline pumping event for a cash purse of $6,800 divided between men and women’s skiing and snowboarding top winners. But for some, the dangers out-weight the cash.


The cliff-riddled runs in Snowmass’s High Alpine and Big Burn areas are the stage for this event as these crazy men and women ski, jump and sometimes fall their way down the course.


Check out this video:


Schedule: Both Friday Feb. 26 and Saturday Feb.27 have start times of 10a.m.

Friday’s course is on the Hanging Valley Headwall, and Saturday’s runs will be on Burn Side Cliffs. Sunday is an optional day if there are weather delays during Fri. and Sat.


Stay at the Inn at Aspen during the Freeride Champs and have ski-in ski-out access to Buttermilk after you are inspired to get some air!
