All you can do is sit and watch, and boy what a show it is. Sure you won’t be skiing yourself during this event, but the Subaru Freeskiing World Tour is one of the top spectator events in the Wasatch and should not be missed. The tour stops in Snowbird for the 14th year and it all goes down from March 8-12.
The 2011 Subaru Freeskiing World Tour Championships features the best big mountain skiers in the world tearing up technical terrain at Snowbird. They ski big lines, jump off huge cliffs and go hard to be crowned the best freeskier on earth. Expect to see Lars Chickering-Ayers and Angel Collinson go big as they are the leading man and woman in the competition going into the championships (they both won last year as well.)
