What an electrifying weekend it has been at the inaugural Prairie Peaks Fun Competition! Hosted amidst the stunning landscapes of Kinsmen Ski & Snowboard Centre and Optimist Snowpark, in collaboration with the esteemed Prince Albert Ski League and Saskatoon Freestyle, this event has truly set the bar sky-high for all future competitions in the region.

On Saturday, March 9th, the slopes came alive with adrenaline-pumping action as the Slopestyle event unfolded at Kinsmen Ski & Snowboard Centre. The air was filled with cheers and excitement as 33 talented athletes showcased their skills and passion for snow sports, leaving spectators in awe of their daring maneuvers and impeccable style.

Sunday saw the thrill continue at Optimist Snowpark, where Saskatoon Freestyle hosted the exhilarating Mogul event. The energy was palpable as competitors pushed their limits and dazzled the crowd with their impressive performances, proving once again that Saskatchewan is home to some of the most talented freestyle skiers in the country.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the entire ski community, as well as our local hills, for their unwavering support and dedication in making this event a resounding success. It is through your enthusiasm and commitment that we are able to nurture and elevate the grassroots programming of Freestyle Saskatchewan.

Last year, our province hosted only one competition, but this year marks a monumental milestone with the establishment of a circuit comprising three thrilling competitions. This growth speaks volumes about the passion and talent within our community, and we couldn’t be prouder of the progress we’ve made together.
