The tricks event consisted of a skier removing one ski and holding it over his head, and a side slide or two. The Jump event provided the most excitement. Today, more than 800 contestants enter the five-day tournament in 24 divisions of competition. The Open Division is divided into men and women and has no age requirement. This is an optional division established to give youngsters an introduction to the basics of competitive skiing.
Skiers compete only in the slalom and tricks events.
Skiers are rated in each event on the basis of performance that meets or exceeds minimum requirements. Tournament classifications can be combined. For example, an R tournament can be run in conjunction with a Class C or other event. A skier cannot ski in more than one class in the same event in the same round at one tournament.
