2012 TNF Extreme Freeride Ski Challenge Reaches New Heights

^{?/SUP>Following the successful hosting of the China Extreme Freeride Ski Challenge, this 2012 edition brought skiing enthusiasts the most anticipated snow event of the season with more comprehensive planning, a more perfectly designed course, and more mature operations. The competition adopted a two-day format: the first day’s qualifiers determined China’s top 32 extreme skiing elites, and the second day’s finals crowned one male and one female champion each in both snowboarding and skiing. As the first extreme-style super slope in China, the course of this competition was custom-designed by two internationally acclaimed snow slope design experts from Italy and Ireland. Unlike other ski parks and slopes within domestic resorts, this competition slope was inspired by the format of international freeride competitions. Nestled among the birch forests beside the Bologna slope at the Chongli Dolomiti Ski Resort and following the steep incline of the mountain, it features numerous jumps, wave runs, and sharp turns—both considering the skill level of domestic skiers and aligning with the difficulty of today’s international mainstream skiing challenges. This allows participants to experience the thrill of extreme skiing while also getting a taste of the latest international skiing techniques, laying a solid foundation for future participation in higher-level competitions. This is also one of the original intentions behind The North Face’s?/SUP>sponsorship of this event.
       Meanwhile, The North Face?/SUP>is committed to promoting the culture of extreme skiing in China. By organizing high-level competitions, it aims to elevate the athletic and competitive standards of domestic skiing enthusiasts and to let more people learn about The North Face’s?/SUP>premium skiing equipment.}
