With all the nutty terrain at squaw is it any surprise that it will be host another freeskiing event. If you have never seen a freeskiing event I highly suggest getting out on the hill this week to see some serious skiing. The comp will start wednesday but who know where it will all go down thanks to the low snow level. If it was up to me I would hold it on C2, Granite Chief Peak and, well, I don’t know there is not much snow up there.

The Subaru U.S. Freeskiing Series continues to grow and establish itself as the premier big mountain freeskiing series with over $100,000 cash prize purse and the addition of a fifth event, the Subaru Squaw Valley USA Freeskiing Open. Winter 2007 marks the 10th Anniversary of the Subaru U.S. Freeskiing Nationals. “On the freeskiing tour there is a common goal shared among the competitors and organizers,” said veteran competitor Tyson Bolduc. “I am excited for this season’s tour not only for the amazing experience, but for the new venues and adventures MSI has created. I can’t wait to hit the road and experience the thrills and camaraderie of another winter skiing on the Subaru U.S. Freeskiing Series and World Tours.” The North Face Young Gun Award returns, honoring outstanding new talent in competitive freeskiing. As always, spectators can anticipate freeskiing’s elite battling it out for the Tobias Lee Sickbird Award, renamed for the winner of the final Sickbird of 2006, Lee, who passed away in an avalanche in April.  “Being an announcer for over 10 years I have seen some of the most spirited competition runs ever. The Sickbird Award represents those performances,” said MSI Winter Sports Director Dak Williams. “I look forward to watching the youth and the legends come together to tear it up in the Subaru U.S. Freeskiing Series.”
