The Power of Partnerships:

Eastern Freeride Tour '07 Sponsored by Salomon and the Landon Morley Sawyer Foundation.

The USSA Eastern Freeride / Freestyle Committee, Salomon Sports, and The Landon Morley Sawyer Foundation are partnering to promote competition skiing in the Northeast this winter. The shared goal is to draw increased participation in a skill based, safety conscious, grand prix format Freeride Tour that is open and available to all USSA member 'A' level skiers (age 13 and up - membership available at events).

Slope style, half pipe, and aerial venues will be decked with Salomon banners. Salomon Skis, boots, and bindings will be amongst the prizes at the Championship events for both men and women.

Eastern Freeride / Freestyle and the Landon Morley Sawyer Foundation have also partnered for a cash purse for both men and women at the Championship events.

To participate: Call or email one of the contacts below. If you like park, pipe, air, or bumps join us now for an amazing winter of skiing!
