The North Face has announced that it is now accepting applications for its upcoming The North Face Ski Challenge Tour. A European ski event is for young freeskiers aged 12-18 years and allows them to compete in freestyle and freeride events, in hopes of qualifying for the finals in Val Thorens, France on April 12-13, 2008....The U.K. qualifying session is going to be held in Manchester at the newly opened Chill FactorE. Each session on the Tour is set-up as a one-day event, where the morning is dedicated to freeride skiing skills on both groomed slopes and off-piste. In the afternoon, competitors will test their freestyle skills in the park. The combined results of both freestyle and freeride events will determine which skiers qualify for the finals.
All category winners will receive prizes and gear giveaways from The North Face, and the overall male and female winners of the 16-18-year old category will receive a sponsoring contract with both The North Face and Dynastar-Lange.
