The North Face® Ski Challenge Tour

First launched during the 2006-2007 winter season, The North Face® Ski Challenge presented by GORE-TEX® grew over the last three years to include a roving pan-European qualifying tour, concluding with event finals in Val Thorens, France.

Open to all European residents—both boys and girls—born between 1989 and 1997, The North Face® Ski Challenge presented by GORE-TEX® is arguably the most important competition for younger skiers hoping to break into the circuit.
The event promotes all mountain skiing, as each kid competes in both big-mountain freeride and park & pipe freestyle contests. The event also places increased emphasis on avalanche awareness and mountain safety.
