The event’s website describes Big Air as being “a high-injury-risk sports discipline where the competitor rides a snowboard down a hill or ramp and performs aerial tricks after launching off very large jumps.” This weekend will feature snowboarders from across the world with Olympic Gold medalist Mark McMorris headlining the Canadian team.
Outside of the event, there will also be plenty of entertainment for both adults and kids alike. There will be zones designated for families and adults in a party-like atmosphere featuring dancing, food, and drinks.
Tickets are currently still available on the Ticketmaster website for as cheap as $60.
