Mt. Crested Butte, CO –The first stop of the Junior Freeskiing Tour (JFT), originally scheduled for Feb. 2-5 in Crested Butte, Colo., has been postponed by organizers until Mar. 29-Apr. 1 to allow more snow to accumulate.

“Much of the West has experienced low snow conditions this year and in order to give our athletes the highest quality event, we are forced to wait for additional significant storms,” says JFT Director Jeff Berman.

Famous for its rocky and steep terrain, Crested Butte requires considerable snowfall to be competition ready. This event now serves as stop number four on the tour. Junior Freeskiing athletes need to compete in three out of the tour’s five stops on the tour in order to win the overall title.

The tour will now kick off at Crystal Mountain, Wash., on Mar. 1 and continues on to Squaw Valley (Calif.), Grand Targhee (Wyo.), and Crested Butte before finishing with the Championships at Snowbird in Utah April 4-7.
