Salomon Jib Academy Information
App Terrain Park is stoked to announce that one of the 4 stops for the Salomon Jib Academy in North America is right here in NC! Thats right, the Salomon Jib Academy is back and better than ever for its second season, and will be going down at ATP next month, on February 23rd.
The Salomon Jib Academy is a series of Slopestyle events for athletes 16 years old or younger. Each event is
FREE for participants and includes coaching from Salomon's best freestyle athletes on the globe. Riders will be put in to groups in the morning with pro coaches to session some of the best terrain parks in the country. Athletes will then vote for the skier in their group that they think should receive a spot in the afternoon's final throw down. Voting is based not just on skill, but attitude, sportsmanship, style, who is having the most fun, etc!
Now for the icing on the cake- Like last year, each winner from the US stops will earn a trip to Mammoth to ski and chill with the best freeski team in the world, Salomon! In Mammoth you will get to see what it's like to participate in a private night shoot, live with pro athletes for a week and film in various projects! You'll also find out which Salomon athlete has the best bowling game! It doesn't get any better than this.
You can register online for the Jib academy
