The NorAm Cup is the stepping stone and training ground to the big show, the WORLD CUP. Acting as both an access point and holding area to the best developing skiers in the America’s and the World, the FIS Freestyle NorAm Cup has events in all FIS Freestyle disciplines – Ski Cross, Moguls, Dual Moguls, Ski Halfpipe, Aerials and Ski Slopestyle(2012). My goal is to assure that your experience at this level of freestyle skiing is safe, fair and fun. I work closely with USSA, CFSA, the representing officials and the Local Organizers to assure we are as well prepared to operate a competition as you are to compete. I look forward to your success throughout the 2011 NorAm Cup. If I can be a help throughout the season please do not hesitate to contact me at konrad@urtur.com – GOOD LUCK! Best Regards, Konrad X.
