Founded in 2010, The North Face Park and Pipe Open Series (PPOS) is a freeskiing tour featuring slopestyle, halfpipe, big air, and rail jam skiing competitions with $55,000 in total prize value up for grabs. As one of the only open-format event series, amateurs have the opportunity to compete alongside top pros.
All four PPOS events are part of the Association of Freeskiing Professionals (AFP) competition schedule. The PPOS will work in conjunction with AFP on competition judging with Steele Spence serving as head judge for the series. The Northstar California stop will both be International Ski Federation (FIS) sanctioned NORAM CUP events with athletes earning FIS points.
