Event organizers canceled the 2015 Red Bull Cold Rush freeskiing competition, which requires deep powder, .
The contest is held at Revelstoke Mountain Resort in British Columbia and snow conditions could not support the event. It had been held in Silverton, Colorado, but moved in 2012.
鈥淭his event requires deep powder snow to be a success,鈥 said Scott Jewett, Red Bull鈥檚 national event manager. 鈥淪afety for athletes and delivering a premium, progressive ski contest are our ultimate goals for Red Bull Cold Rush. Unfortunately, conditions will not allow for either.鈥
The peer-judged competition, known for its big-mountain, slopestyle, and touring format, seeks to find the most well-rounded skier in the world. Fifteen men and five women were slated to compete for a $36,000 purse. The roster included Sammy Carlson, Chris Rubens, Michelle Parker, and Suz Graham. The contest was to resume this year after a two-year hiatus.
