What type of event would you like to see or make a comeback?

For me:
- RB Linecatcher
- JOSS without Jon and just a weekend, different location every year.
- Natural Selection for skiers; skiers can handle various conditions much better and still do tricks

Something like Real ski, but with as crazy and creative as possible backcountry/big mountain line.
Participants from different types of skiing. Urban, alpine, comp jock, doesn't matter.
So Real line?

Just like whoever can lace the coolest line? Sounds fire. A three feature/cliff/jump minimum would be a good rule I think and it may be hard to compare street line to a big mountain fwt esc line

Regional slvsh tournaments, organized by locals on insta or something seems manageable. Thinking something like Rule the Ridge at bridger bowl a couple years ago. I've seen others similarly

For a while I’ve been thinking that a STAB highway- style event for skiing would be so fun. Get a bunch of pros, mix em up and split into teams of 4, then host a road trip where you get points, like an LTC episode but it’s a comp. Call it stoke highway or some shit so the dope snow enjoyers tune in. some fun challenges could look like:
- longest person to stay in ski boots
- frothiest lip b2
- most cigs ripped indoors
- sketchiest bn
- best hoodcrew urban stair set

monster already sponsors STAB, so I doubt it would be too difficult to find a rival brand *cough cough redbull* that wants to do something like this. GNAR walked so stoke highway could run.

freestyle skiing had such great aspirations, in retrospect , delusions of grandeur...

how did this happen? how did sponsors completely lose interest? how...and why did jon olsson run such events ...out of his moms pocket???? was there conspiracy driving competition? did sponsors see invites were popularity contests? conasrtists were taking prize money, and sponsors werent getting the media production they expected from their pros...? something had to have caused the collapse of such an incredible build.
