After sorting through some serious backyard talent, we’ve narrowed down the four finalists. The winner will be announced on Tuesday, December 1st. For now, check out our favorites below. Salomon and Freeskier would like to thank everyone who participated in this contest. You’ve succeeded in getting us fired up for the season upon us.
















And a bonus finalist for creative, funny editing:

The same appear twice!! Our vid should be 4th !

So Stoked!! Just for the record Charles did mellow out the mule kick on his down rail! and his Mom is an awesome cook who keeps the BBQ and Bonfires hot all night!

Yeah so thers is two that are the same….??

Fixed. Little mistake with the embed code. Here are the finalists.

VIDEO NUMBER TWO IS THE COOLEST SET UP ALSO HALIFAX IS THE COOLEST CITY

absolutely number one or two. 3 is so boring watching the same hit over and over again

Wow thank you. this contest is the gayest shit ever. clearly that dope hubba setup in nova sctia will win. fuck this contest. if the rules initally explained that you could use old footge this would have been no compettition. i was told initally that I had to film in teh time frame of the contest. so i did, and blew all this shit out of the water. its not even worth doing an entry for any further contests through this gay shit. thank you for the opportunity but i will never support or participate in anymore of your contests. just a pure waste of time. thanks again!

YEAAAAAAA MN FINALIST!

so stoked!

yeye video number two kills it! charles’s back yard destroys the others!! they have no chance!!

oh shit video number two is crazy! mad respect that is the craziest setup ive ever seen in my whole life!! if you lose i’ll be amazed cuz the others dont even compare.

yee yee, #2 for the win!! best set up ever!

Jeffrey, grow up bud

I dont think any of the ones with snow should be considered. How does freeskier know they will be able to get snow when salomon shows up. A lot of the time the ice rinks dont have any. The salomon team will show up at a house like that and there wont be any snow. Only the carpet ones should be able to win.

^ There are three accessible ice rinks where we get our snow from, Charles also used to have a working snow-gun that i’m sure he could get fired up if need be, snow definitely will not be a problem. Not to mention the fact that the entire drop in is covered in the material they used to use for water ramps…

i agree that number two is deffinetly sick, tons of props to the kids who put all the time in to tha. i know how much effort it takes. i just finished a new wall and stall, i just set up all my stuff for winter including the 90 degree kid kink to DFD, and super sick 10ft flat to 25ft down. and it takes a ton of work. so again lots of respect to the other videos, there was a lot of hard work put into them.

oops 90 degree side kink* but i’m sooo pumped!

^ haha word man that sounds dope!! even if we dont win the contest we can still be so stoked on getting to shred our sick backyard set-ups all year!!

#2 or 3. 3 had some of the best tricks but a kind of ghetto rail. #2 was an insane setup and they also had some real nice tricks. i think that the contest should have been more about skill though cause these kids with not a lot of skill can just make some nice boxes and win, i.e- #1 and #4. but seriously if # 2 dont win, the guys at salomon must be seriously screwed up

wait, is it just me, or are there only 4 finalists here??!? it said that “Freeskier will choose 5 finalists and Salomon will choose the ultimate winner”. wheres the 5th?

there were a lot of great entries, good luck to all finalist. I do like number number 2, insane backyard set up, these kids worked hard and all the snow was trucked in and there in no problem in getting more. Charles hats off to you. Can’t wait for the next rail jam. everyone will be invited, just come out to Nova Scotia for a good time.

Number 2 deserves to win for the work they put into it, the fact that they threw down, and the fact that they made such a sick party atmosphere for their families.

wheres the 5th????

#2 is ridiculous, soo sick

#2 is ridiculous, soo sick

GJer. Read the top where it says “we’ve narrowed down the four finalists.”

And number 2 killed it. For sure winning.

number 2 is sick as hell, number 1 is pretty sick as well, and number 3 has a pretty good edit, just niot a good setup.

Number 2 is a for sure. I was up at Charlie’s the other weekend and he bought 3 new spotlights, new shovels, the rails have been mellowed to a perfect level and with the working conveyor belt getting snow up to the top of the ramp is easy. Although the other setups are sick and props to the people who put time and effort into their setups/videos it seems Nova Scotia should win this one.

Who won??

Who won??

ok.. when do they announce the winner..?
