Teton Surf Classic

The Teton Surf Classic is returning to the slopes of Grand Targhee for its third year of fun. This year they’re turning up the heat by having the Park team reset the North Pole Terrain Park for another surf/skate-inspired, snowboard-only event.

Turn, pump, glide, slash and ride

Similar to Bachelor’s infamous Gerry Lopez Big Wave Challenge the focus is on how well you truly “ride” the mountain. Judging is based on:

Turns

Are you skidding or carving? Powerful top-to-bottom turns? Show some awesome heel side bottom turns and powerful lip smacks.

Speed

Can you carry speed and maximize each feature’s potential?

Flow/Style

Smooth it out now. Throw in that soul arch as you trim down the line.

Line Selection/Creativity

Show off your interpretation of the terrain. Look for fun transfers, lines and features to set yourself apart.

Slashes

Everyone loves a good power hack. How high can you make the slush fly?

Air

Show off your stylie grabs and tweaks
