WSC is the new pinnacle event of snowboarding and will be held every four year on great snowboarding locations around the world. It is a freestyle event only with halfpipe and slopestyle as main formats. In Oslo 2012, a monster quarterpipe event in the legendary Holmenkollen ski jumping arena, will kickstart the finals.

The WSC is not only a championships, but a part of the TTR World Snowboard Tour.

With a 6 star tiering, the WSC falls in line with the united forces of snowboarding; nurturing the grass roots activity in lower tier events to cast the shining lights on the superstars of our progressive sport. In the riders eyes, winning the tour will always be prestigious – reflecting the risk and achievements over a full season.

Best Of TTR Overall Champions 11/12 - Stale Sandbech and Cilka Sadar

The TTR Overall World Tour Champion titles were a tough reach for many riders who focus on one discipline, but Stale and Cilka Sadar are consistent in both pipe and slopestyle which is a growing rarity in snowboarding these days. Cilka registered 14 TTR results throughout the season with almost a perfect balance of entries in halfpipe an slopestyle disciplines making her one of the most versatile women snowboarders in the world today.Stale Sanbech (NOR) also registered 14 TTR results throughout the season across slopestyle, halfpipe and big air disciplines. Although he wasn't able to get a top spot in halfpipe, Stale took podium spots in slopestyle at the Burton New Zealand Open and in big air at the Air & Style Beijing. When asked how he feels about winning the TTR Overall title, Stale said, "I wasn't really going for it at the start of the season, but then I was leading and thought 'wow', maybe i can actually do this! Now at the end, it was exciting. 'It is really cool to be part of that legendary list of riders who won it before."

Best Of TTR Halfpipe Tour Champions 11/12 - Iouri Podladtchikov and Kelly Clark

The 2011/2012 TTR World Tour came to a close at the 6Star Burton US Open with men's and women's halfpipe finals. After a gripping season full of countless highlights, Iouri Podladtchikov (SUI) and Kelly Clark (USA) clinched the TTR Halfpipe World Tour Champion titles. Kelly Clark took a podium spot once again to receive the TTR World Tour Champion trophy for her clear domination in the halfpipe over the course of the season. Although Kelly didn't manage to come in first in her home state after being undefeated in 16 consecutive contests, she undeniably sets the standard for women's halfpipe snowboarding. It was Elena Hight (USA), finishing the season in World No. 4 in the TTR Halfpipe Rankings, who broke Kelly's string of wins with less than a one point difference today. Kelly had this to say about her second TTR title win, "I'm super happy to have won this, it has been a competition at every event and the other girls have really pushed me to level where I am right now."Iouri Podladtchikov also had an amazing season standing atop podiums at every TTR competition he entered. Reaching back to the Burton New Zealand Open where Iouri took third place, he continued his season of success with a first place finish at the World Snowboarding Championships in Oslo, Norway and won again at the Burton European Open in Laax, Switzerland. He capped off his season nicely with the coveted win here at the US Open.

MODIFIED WSC 2012 QUALIFICATION PROCESS

Due to the postponement of the Burton European Open until after the World Championships in Oslo, TTR modifies the qualification criteria for the international starting spots. Qualification via WSF national quota spots and direct quotas not affected.

The cut-off date for the Halfpipe and Slopestyle qualification lists has been extended until January 23, one week after the initial deadline, which was following the Halfpipe finals at Burton European Open in the original schedule.This extra week gives riders a chance to collect points or replace results at 1-4 Star level events worldwide, providing particularly lower positioned riders a few extra shots to make it into the Top 50 / 30 ranks and qualify for the WSC 2012.

As a second measure, the O`Neill Evolution 6Star Big Air will count for the Slopestyle Points List. With O’Neill Evolution being the only Big Air competition on a 6 star level where women compete, this is a fair addition to increase the number of qualification opportunities for both men and women.

TTR points lists generally include results over a span of 52 weeks, however, TTR decided to extend the term, adding a week to the list, rather than shifting the 52 weeks results. This means that the original starting point of the qualification, 2011’s Burton European Open, as well as all other results from this week, still count towards a riders position on the qualification list.

The Top 50 Men and Top 30 Women which qualify for the WSC 2012 will be determined on January 23rd, 2012. The WSC Qualification Points List for both Halfpipe and Slopestyle will evaluate a riders best results between January 10th, 2011 and January 23rd, 2012. Over this 53 week period, a riders best 3 Halfpipe results will count for the Halfpipe Qualification List, a riders best 4 Slopestyle results will count for the Slopestyle Qualification List.

The postponement of the BEO does not gravely affect the WSC qualification process with these added options. ‘With high class events like the RedBull Nanshan Open and O’Neill Evolution close to the qualification deadline, as well as the addition of a substantial number of 1-4 star events including the World Rookie Fest, we believe that riders have enough opportunities to qualify for the event’ Reto Lamm, President of TTR says.
