The 2009 World Heli Challenge is underway!
Official Website: http://www.worldhelichallenge.com/whc09/default.cfm
Here is a breakdown of the event....
Big Mountain Day: "Tests the athletes skills on steep and radical terrain. Points are awarded to the person who maintains control and fluidity whilst "flashing" it, not for just the judges and media crew, but their peers who gape from the course below."
Freeride Day: "Tests the aerial skills of an athlete performed on undulating terrain with plenty of wind lips, rollovers and jumps. Basically the same as a resort terrain park, but our course is mother natures finest, held in powder and accessed by helicopter."
VnC Downhill: "Here the speed specialists come into play. Who can hold it in their tuck the longest? Who's thighs can handle the most pressure? This all event is a mass start, a combination of skier cross / boarder cross, but a lot faster."
Should be a cool event!
I will be posting some web clips of the action that can be found at UnofficialSquaw
