About Norway Freeride Cup

Norway Freeride Cup startet in 2007 with Lofoten, Hemsedal, Sauda and Røldal as participating venues. As the sport has grown, the cup is the most important arena for Norwegian freeride skiing and snowboarding.

There are six contests in 2012. All competitions must meet a set of requirements in relation to security, venue, the quality of judging, technical feasibility and not least the ability to create good atmosphere for spectators and participants. The best three results count in the cup, and you will not need to participate in every competition. Points are awarded as the World Cup alpine skiing, with 100 for victory, 80 for second place down to 1 point for 30 place. If fewer than four contests conducted, counting the two best results in the overall score.

The best athletes gets cash, glory, good relationships with sponsors, and in some cases an invitation to participate in prestigious competitions in the world. Overall winners will also be invited to represent the participants in the riders panel, which ensures that competition is further developed in the right direction!
