invites go out like this: each local shop pics 2 riders, i think there are only 3 shops involved and they only sponser snowboarders, so ur fuct there. also, there are film crew invites, so if u know some of the crew that will be there (sic, meatheads, etc) maybe they can hook you up. lastly, there is the local crew, this is ur best chance, the park rangers at the river pick 10 local rippers to get a chance at throwing down on some very large features. if ur not in tight with the park crew and/or have been absolutely ripping the river on a regular basis this season, your chances are very slim.
