The Sports Illustrated For Kids Next Snow Search, is a national talent search to find young athletes who best represent the next generation of extreme skiers and snowboarders. The finals will be held in Killington, VT March 2-4, 2007.<\/p>\n
Factors such as community involvement and grades will gain bonus points for competitors. Additional points will be earned by finishing a modified GS race and a Slopestyle Challenge. The Slopestyle Challenge consists of two runs through the terrain park, subjectively judged Jiminy Peak’s SnowSports School. Criteria for judging the Slopestyle Challenge are based on style and execution rather than size of air or extreme nature of tricks. Competitors are not required to compete in both aspects of the competition but those who do may compete for the chance to move on to the finals. Those who compete in only one portion of the competition will compete for individual honors.<\/p>\n
