The Junior Freeride Tour completed its first tour stop of four this weekend at Crystal Mountain Resort, Washington.
Athletes were judged on Air and Style, Line, Fluidity, Control and Technique.
These five categories were complied to give athletes one over all score.
Judges included Head Judge Eric Schmitz, Dylan Crossman and Chuck White.
Men’s Skiing had a strong group of athletes which made the competition that much more impressive.
New to the Freeride Tour this year is the snowboarding division.
Junior big mountain snowboarding made its debut this weekend with an awesome group of athletes.
I was blown away by the passion and athleticism the JFT athletes showed throughout the weekend.
The event will be webcast live onJuniorFreerideTour.comand PowderMag.com.
