Scuol, Switzerland – Ticket To Ride (TTR) is taking another major step to break down barriers in the world of competitive freestyle snowboarding, as the organization has announced the launch of the universal World Snowboarding Points Lists. The new points lists will include available results from all major snowboarding events including the TTR World Snowboard Tour, X Games, Dew Tour and FIS World Cups. They will provide world ranking lists for male and female halfpipe, slopestyle and big air athletes.
“This is the first ranking list of its kind for freestyle snowboarding and has been introduced by TTR Pro Snowboarding as a next step in advancing the organization of the sport. For the first time in its history, snowboarding now gets a transparent, up-to-date ranking resource,” says TTR President Reto Lamm. “This allows fans, riders, event organizers and media to see who the truly best riders are. This is more proof of TTR´s efforts to provide the best competitive environment for the sport of snowboarding.”

With many separate organizations operating snowboarding events, TTR has launched the new universal points lists to introduce a complete world ranking resource for riders, events, nations, media and the snowboard industry. The purpose of the new points list is to create a definitive world ranking that shows the true leaders in the disciplines of halfpipe, slopestyle and big air.
The World Snowboarding Points Lists have been developed by TTR Pro Snowboarding in collaboration with national snowboarding associations around the world, riders, events and coaches. The new lists are now available to review at www.ttrworldtour.com. From this point forward, TTR Pro Snowboarding will use the lists for seeding and qualifying riders into TTR events.
