Oct. 3, 2012, 8:44 a.m. EDT OBERHOFEN, Switzerland (AP) — The International Ski Federation says organizers have cancelled a Snowboard World Cup scheduled at Stockholm on Nov. 17 "due to economical reasons."

It's the second Big Air event lost from this season's World Cup calendar after the London stop on Oct. 27 was cancelled last month for financial reasons. FIS says the British and Swedish ski federations hope to return to the World Cup schedule next season.

March 28, 2012 – ESPN - Kristi Leskinen started a women’s only freestyle skiing contest in 2009. A few years down the road, she realized that this contributed greatly to the progression of women freestyle riders. By providing smaller jumps, the contenders were able to comfortably throw down their hardest tricks; ultimately encouraging progression. Leskinen also issued a survey which concluded that “men and women would benefit greatly from having separate courses in competition” and that women “were injured 3.5 times more often in competition than the men”. As a result, she hopes that these results will help further the progression and safety of the freestyle world for men and women. –G.W.

February 29, 2012 - The average annual total of ski and snowboard avalanche fatalities in the U.S. is six. However, there has been a unusual amount of ski and snowboard deaths this season with a total of 19. Experts claim that "the high avalanche danger this year is tied to the thin, weak snowpack that was established earlier this winter". They also predict that if warm seasons with little snowfall continue, then "this year could foreshadow avalanche risk in years to come". -G.W.

February 21, 2012 - ESPN - Since the FIS rejection of the TTR's Joint Qualification proposal, the snowboarding world has been trying their best to prove that they can put on as good of a show as FIS can for the coming Winter Olympics. TTR came up with a new scoring system called the Snowboarding Livescoring System which gives riders a chance to "express themselves, rather than throw down rote runs, and still score high". With the support of high profile riders such as Terje Haakonsen and Mark McMorris, this new partnership will hopefully prove themselves worthy of running their sport in the Olympics. This new system will premier this weekend at the World Snowboarding Championships. -G.W.
