Keystone, Colo. - Feb. 10, 2005 - The Sports Illustrated For Kids NextSnow SEARCH Finals mark the culmination of a series of freeride competitions that ave been taking place at U.S. and Canadian resorts throughout the winter. The top finalists from those nationwide events qualified for the NextSnow SEARCH finals. Nearly 150 young snow sports enthusiasts (ages 9-13), have been selected from more than 70 ski areas across the continent including resorts in California, Vermont, Utah, Montana and Colorado. They will compete in such events as big air, slopestyle, park and pipe, bumps, freestyle and big mountain skiing. Girls and boys, skiers and snowboarders will all compete together. Besides their on-snow performance, they're judged on attitude and character as well. This is the only event that combines the sports, genders and disciplines in this unique progressive format.
ESPN jump-started the action sports movement 10 years ago with the Summer X Games, followed by the Winter X Games in 1998. The movement has defined a generation and has seen unprecedented growth in everything from motocross to snowboarding. Two years ago, seeing a need for an event that caters to the youngest demographic of this movement, Jack Turner created the NextSnow SEARCH. This event illustrates that the action sports movement has crossed over to all ages and areas of the country and the evolution of the snow sports industry.
