Snowbird, UT (Wednesday, January 25, 2006) - The Subaru U.S. Freeskiing and Skiercross Nationals will return to Snowbird, Utah, February 1-5, 2006, to kick off the Freeskiing World Tour, the Subaru U.S. Skiercross Series, and the inaugural Subaru U.S. Freeskiing Series.
Now in its ninth year, the U.S. Freeskiing Nationals is the oldest event on the tours and has achieved legendary status for its level of competition, spectator draw, and rowdy Aerial Tram after-parties. Athlete enthusiasm continues to grow with registration for the big mountain qualifier reaching capacity in just ten days. Over a hundred of the world’s top skiers will compete for a $20,000 overall prize purse.
Last year witnessed the triumphant return of skiing great Brant Moles after years of injury, as well as the crowning of Snowbird local Ben Wheeler as U.S. Freeskiing Nationals champion. They will be up against three-time World Freeskiing Champion Manu Gaidet, who returns in pursuit of an unprecedented fourth-consecutive World Title. Kit DesLauriers will also be back, gunning for her third World Title against past Snowbird winners Jamie Burge and Jessica Baker. Finally, the U.S. Skiercross Nationals will feature skiercross greats Christian Questad, Corley Howard, Brett Buckles, and Libby Bittner competing against two-time champions Eric Archer and Anik Demers.

I rode right by this on the hill. I couldn't see anything though. Someone got hurt and helied out. They had started climbing to get to the contest since the tram and little cloud were shut down right before they opened them.
