Freestyle Panorama proudly presents The Kootenay Freestyle Classic (KFC). Good times, great prizes and good friends! This event is open to all skiers ages 7-18, and there is a maximum limit of 100 athletes. The KFC is sanctioned by Freestyle BC. A Freestyle Canada Membership is required by all participants.
The mogul event is scored by summing points for both turns and air. Turns count for 60% of the score, and air counts for 40% (this event is not timed). Turns are assessed by three judges who evaluate rhythmic changes in direction, position of the head chest, hands, and poles. Air is scored on form and difficulty by one judge. Deductions for stopping, crashing, fumbling, etc. are applied to the final score.
In the slope style event, athletes pick a line in the terrain park that includes 4 features. Judges evaluate height of jumps (bigger tricks score higher), difficulty of tricks, how well tricks are executed (e.g. tightness of rotation, clean grabs, smooth landings, etc.) and variety of tricks and flow of the run (e.g. having to slow down or reset after a trick will lose points).
