The Head Big Air event has been the cornerstone of the event since day one, and our goal has always been to give the riders the best possible jump to enable them to land tricks that have never been landed before. This year we have seen some crazy stuff on the Olympics so we are sure that there will be some incredible stuff being thrown. The format this year is new as I wanted to make sure we keep the show in the event. Qualifying will take place on Friday where everyone gets 3 jumps. The best 16 riders will move on to the final on Saturday and the two best skiers will be guaranteed a spot in the super final. On Saturday the 16 skiers will be divided into pairs and we will run a head to head format until we reach the final. Then the two top qualifiers will join the two skiers that has moved on to the super final and they will all have 2 jumps where the best one counts. This way we have an exciting format but we also make sure that we will have he top skiers in the super final where they have two jumps each so they really can go for it, so I think this will be the best format that we have had!
