It’s that time of the year again. Everyone that is something in snowboarding or freeskiing is flocking to Aspen, Colorado for the yearly X Games (26 to 29 January). It’s the most prestigious competition you can win in skiing and snowboarding. Period. The athletes are hungry and as always very excited to see the slopestyle course.
Slopestyle is just one of many disciplines at Winter X Games 2012. Big Air and SuperPipe are the two other major desciplines.
New for 2012 is the fact that the slopestyle finals will be help at night at Buttermilk Mountain. This means it will be ready for prime time TV in the US. Exciting news for everyone.
