if snoqualmie pass was going to have another comp strictly for us two plankers, other than pretzels and polish donuts, what would you guys like to see. such as features, set up, format, judging and etc. let me know your thoughts guys.
 
sounds like this has a purpose to it lockie, so I will respond foreal.
No snowboarding judges. (sorry krush and burtner you can go pre-jibulate all over each other in private) It should have some rider judged portion. Maybe not 100% because kids are dumbasses, but have atleast a portion of the total score be devoted to rider judgement. This way kids might bitch less, and the person who deserves to win will win.
Also, no boxes. If its a "rail jam" then have rails. Kids win at stevens rail jams by doing surface spins on boxes because they wont hit the rails. So proper skiing-oriented features with room for technical skiing. Not fake box tricks.
Have different categories. One size fits all just doesnt work, especially when some 11 year old takes the cake for doing some stupid switchup but because he is so young he gets a handicap. Also having heats, and not just having 100 kids dropping at once would be nice.
Have cash prizes.
Get real bibs that fit over peoples outerwear. Taping a piece of paper to your leg doesnt work.
and a megaphone to yell at people who stand in the landings/hype themselves every drop in/fake afterbang/etc.
Thats all I can think of off the top of my head. If you are actually planning something Lockie, lemme konw and I will talk to the guys at Line and try to get soem support goin...
 
Something with a similar format to rails 2 riches. open jam format then some riders selected for a finals.
Down Flat down for sure as a feature.
 
A free-ride competition on alpental would be awesome. I know there's the FSIA think at crystal, but something more around $30 entry would be nice. A true slopestyle comp would be a lot of fun, as well.
 
Prettyj.berg is pretty much spot on.

The thing i hate most is the open format. Way to hectic. Not sure if Snoqualmie has the room for a proper slopestyle.
 
rails 2 riches type of thing. with an all day jam session broken down. i think that just having an all day type of event would be dope.
 
I also thought some kind of rando race into a bc freestyle (like the redbull lines thing) (but with a rando race going into it) would be cool.
