Not announced yet. Dates, places and entry fees go up on Instagram and Facebook first.
How a stop works
As the 2026 season ran. The organizers confirm each season's details when they post a stop.
Who can compete
Skiers and snowboarders ages 6 to 18 with a pass to a small mountain: 900 vertical feet or less.
The contest
Slopestyle. Every rider gets two runs and the best score counts.
Age groups
10 and under, 11 to 13, and 14 to 18.
Entry
$20 a stop, paid when you register at the hill. Hosts can offer their own pass holders less: $10 at the Kanc.
The evening
Stops run on weeknights. Register and practice in the late afternoon, riders' meeting at 5:15pm, then the contest.
Awards and standings
Top three in each age group at every stop, plus points toward the series standings. Series champions are crowned at the championship.
The point is a place for kids from small mountains and rope tows to compete. The setups stay fun and mellow, so young kids and beginners can jump in next to the riders who have been doing this for years.
