A wild competition makes its Canadian debut in Alberta this spring

If you’re a fan of some wild and wonky races, a competition is making its Canadian debut in the Alberta Rockies later this spring.

The Red Bull Jump & Freeze is coming to Sunshine Village in Banff on Saturday, April 25, 2026.

The event involves teams of two to four people hitting the slopes dressed in over-the-top costumes or strapped into self-crafted vehicles. Teams will send it from the top of Goat’s Eye to the bottom to try to reach the other end of the pool.

If you’re interested in taking part and racing down to try and reach the finish line, you have until Friday, Feb. 6, to do so.

A total of 30 teams will be selected to compete, with participating teams to be announced at a later date.
