Replying to Hoot En Anny info...
The 5th annual Hoot is at Boyne Mt. Saturday, March 6th. It is an open slopestyle event with three divisions of athletes: beginner, amateur, and pro. The pros will split an $1800 cash purse, amateurs will compete for sweet prizes like Salomon skis, and beginners will compete for prizes and recognition. The schedule is as follows:

-finals at 2:00
Here is some other important information:
-all competitors must sign waiver
-competitors under 18 must have a parent present to sign for them at registration
-helmets are required
-inverts will not be allowed, competitors purposefully putting their feet above their head will be disqualified
-qualifier will determine skiers who advance to the final round through scored runs
-finals will be single elimination head-to-head format in each division
Diffenent from last year, there will be no snowboard slopestyle. Remember though that the Huck Finn will have skis and snowboards under the lights on Saturday night. RedBull is the primary sponsor... lots of free RedBull!!! Smith and Salomon are also sponsoring the event with swag. Luke and Adam Schrab are completely rebuilding and modifying the current terrain park for the event. It should be huge with lots of rails.
Any questions?
