The Arctic Challenge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Arctic Challenge is a snowboarding contest arranged for and by the riders themselves. It was started by Norwegian professional snowboarders Daniel Franck and Terje Haakonsen. The contest was established as an alternative to the former competitions that had become streamlined and run by schedules and directions from TV-coverage, major sponsors and other external forces. It now holds the status as the final for the "Ticket to Ride Tour", and is held in Norway annually - usually at a location north of the Arctic Circle.
