And it begins... Blood. Sweat. Tears. Nerves. Not enough sleep. Bad weather. Worse Hotels. And yet some of the best and most progressive skiing and snowboarding around.

The Midwest Open 2008 presented by Cascade Mountain and Nordica. This is the premier winter sports event in the Midwest. If you haven't been here before you had better make plans to attend this year’s event. The best athletes in the Midwest compete in a two hit Big-Air, Hip (the Quarter-Pipe has been changed to a hip event), and the main event night rail jam for their share of huge prize packages. We are going to give away over $15,000 in prizes this year! Competitors are flooding in from 7 states and Canada, and as far away as California. Online registration is available below.

The competition is limited to the first 200 competitors this year. There will not be any exceptions to this limit, so sign up now! The cost is $25 for all 3 events, or $10 per single event. We will have over 35 tent vendors with displays, and lots of fun stuff to do on site during the day to add to the excitement! Bring your A-Game and your whole family, as there will be lots to enjoy! There will be divisions for Ski 15-, Ski 16+, Snowboard 15-, Snowboard 16+, and women's mixed. Event schedule will be posted shortly.

HELMETS REQUIRED!
