Create Your Own Swatch Skiers Cup Teams

The second annual Swatch Skiers Cup officially begins tomorrow in Valle Nevado, Chile, where two eight-man teams of the world's best freeskiers will go head-to-head in big mountain and backcountry slopestyle during the one and only continental team freeski event.


To help celebrate the beginning of one of the coolest events in skiing, the good people at Swatch want to hook one of you up with a free Swatch Skiers Cup special edition watch, and all you have to do to win is list your own Swatch Skiers Cup fantasy teams!


To enter, head on over to the corresponding thread in Ski Gabber and post your fantasy teams between now and next Thursday, September 6th (only one entry per username, and please do not post your fantasy teams in the comments below, as they will not be eligible). You must pick eight riders for each team (Team Americas and Team Europe), and each rider for Team Americas must be from the Western Hemisphere, while each rider for Team Europe must be from the Eastern Hemisphere. Also keep in mind that your teams can include riders who are already competing at this year's Swatch Skiers Cup (click here to check out the teams) or not.


Once you've created your teams, the captains of Team Americas and Team Europe (Cody Townsend and Sverre Liliequist) will go through the thread and pick the post that includes their favorites fantasy teams, and then we'll announce the winner at the conclusion of the second annual Swatch Skiers Cup on Sunday, September 9th.
