Shred for the Cup Slopestyle Finals Information
ATP's slopestyle finals will take place on SATURDAY, March 20th - the original scheduled date!
The slopestyle finals will conclude an amazing series, and bring together elements from both previous shred events, allowing riders to link up their rail and jump tricks in one solid line down the Appal Jam and Candied Appal Terrain Parks.
This SFTC event will be dedicated to Kyle West - one of App Terrain Park's loyal shredders who has recently been diagnosed with Leukemia. We will be selling raffle ticket donations for Kyle during registration for a chance to win some great prizes that will be raffled off after awards thanks to our event sponsors. All funds from the raffle will go to help the West family, and Appalachian Ski Mtn. will match the collective donations up to $500. Everyone keep Kyle and his family in your thoughts.
As always, this Shred for the Cup event will feature lots of Red Bull, DJ Overcash providing constant tunes, hot dogs on the grill, and plenty of good times. Even if you don't plan to compete, we encourage everyone to make it out and watch the action go down.
This event will also determine the overall series winners, you can check the current points standings HERE
