Tuesday, 13 July 2010 09:39

The young ones showed the grown-ups how it was done last weekend (Saturday 10th July) at  the second ever Cardrona Calci Yum Kids Cup.

The Kids Cup is a mini slopestyle competition that has a strong emphasis on fun and having a go at freestyle.

A 50-strong field of freestyle skiers and snowboarders, all aged between 4 and 12, took to the boxes and kickers in purpose built course.

 

The competition was intense. Cardrona Junior Team Skier, Jackson Wells scored the highest run of the day impressing the judges with a 720 followed by a switch 540 and combos on the rails and boxes.
