Moved up from 9th to 8th after the Olympics. Didn't think I would move up at all cause I dropped Devon Logan for kaya and torin. So what the hell are these next two events and who will be competing?

Is the Vars SFR tour in this? I don't really know since the qualifications is ongoing, the trading is still open and so few of the biggest names was on the list. It says the event starts on the 10th, but fuck im confused. :S So are most of them pre-qualified or something?

Definitely the biggest problem with this game. Maybe if they provided info on each event on the fantasy freeride website, you could make more informed decisions on setting up your team for each event. I'd be stoked to have more info on competitive skiing anyway. I don't watch TV, so more highlight clips and videos of each competitors runs would be awesome.

A lot of the events aren't really publicly televised (yes, i know olympics and x games are...) so highlight clips would be awesome!

SLOPE QUALIFIERS FORÂ SFR TOUR VARS.

I guess we'll have to use that? Is there a women's qualifiers or pre qualified athletes?

I'm confused though. If this is happening right now, what's on March 10th?

Right now it's a qualifier for the event on the 10th. There was another qualifier a month or so ago. That's all I've been able to figure out so far, hopefully someone knows what's up because I have no idea who to put on my team aha

I think it's top XX from the past two events, but is that to get a by to the finals, with a qualifier round as well for those that aren't pre qualified? Not to mention Oscar Wester, who won the first qualifier and got on the podium in the second isn't available to get on your team. geez.

Did some research yesterday, and the only concrete thing i got is that Gus is going to be there (according to the event program). But i figured since it's a platinum event and give the same tour point's they get at the major events like X and olympics, all the A game guys gonna be there. But that's just a theory, not 100% sure though.

You better fucking be there Lisa! Im counting on you.(bingo)

Ugh so many good skiers I didn't know would be there. Got Gus, Vink, Mcrae, Oystein, and Bellemare going into finals at least. Also had both Noahs who both placed 7th, damn.

Kinda rattled they created Oscar so late, I would have had him if I picked my team later. Oh well, 4 of the top 5 and I had Kelly. Gonna have to pick it up for pipe in a week
