X Games - real skiing on real mountains event

Benchetler has been FBing and graming loads of pictures while they've been getting after it out there. Rooting for Chris forsure.
 
Just posted on the official website:

"In lieu of recent news- namely the submission of "The Taj song" the contest has been cancelled, and Wiley has been named the winner. Better luck to all our competitors next year on finding a less proportionately headed dog to bring with you and thus dominate this competition."
 
just like the real snow snowboard back country event. there is online bracket voting as well as judges (i think) for other awards
 
So stoked for this! It's a great that this is a filming competition versus a two-day event or something where it's just 8 people hitting the same features over and over. This way they really get to express their creativity doing their own style skiing.

From what I can tell, I think Wiley has been filming his seg since December. His is the one I am looking forward to the most right now, but hell I'm really looking forward to all of them a ton.
 
So excited for this! I really hope we see a slow infusion of more and more backcountry skiing into the X Games and into the general public eye
 
Would be cool forsure. Loads of other athletes that could be good in this to. Like Hjorleifson, Cattabriga-Alosa, Morrison, Mahre, Pollard (if he hasn't been injured) but I think X will keep the jibby-flippy-spinny athletes in there a opposed to huge line shredders. Event will be dope either way.
