Jib League Season 2

Jib League Season 2 was the 2024 rider-voted freeski tour held across Nordkette, Sugar Bowl and Myrkdalen | Disciplines: creative park skiing, rails, jumps, knuckle features, tree features and wallride setups | Notable winner: Tormod Frostad | Format: Open Jam qualifiers plus three Pro Sessions per stop with peer voting

Nordkette To Sugar Bowl To Myrkdalen

Jib League Season 2 took the rider-voted freeski format from a European proof of concept into a wider international tour. The season opened at Nordkette Skyline Park above Innsbruck from February 23 to 28 2024, moved to Sugar Bowl in California from April 7 to 10, and finished at Myrkdalen in Norway later that spring. The structure stayed close to the original Jib League idea: invited pros, Open Jam qualifiers, three feature-based Pro Sessions, evening rough-cut viewings and skier voting instead of a conventional judging panel. That kept Season 2 closer to a filmed session than a federation contest.

The Voting Room Decided The Tour

The format was the core story. Each stop used three Pro Sessions, each built around a different feature. After each day, riders watched a rough cut and voted anonymously for two winners and two runner-ups. First-place votes counted for two points, runner-up votes counted for one point, and the best total across the week decided each stop. The same logic carried across the full season, meaning the skier who accumulated the most points from Nordkette, Sugar Bowl and Myrkdalen became Season 2 champion. It rewarded range, not one perfect run: jump creativity, rail control, knuckle awareness, adaptation and how strongly other skiers reacted to the footage.

Tormod Frostad Took The Champion Trophy

Tormod Frostad became Jib League Season 2 Champion after winning the opening Nordkette stop and the final Myrkdalen stop. His season arc was unusually clean for a format built around chaos. At Nordkette he won the overall session ahead of Mikkel Brusletto Kaupang and Kai Mahler. At Myrkdalen he won again, this time ahead of Max Moffat and Ferdinand Dahl. The final season ranking placed Frostad first, Mikkel BK second, Martin Longhitano third, Max Moffat fourth and Dahl fifth. That top five captured the point of the format: technical rail skiers, creative all-rounders and founders could all compete inside the same language.

Nordkette Set The Second Season Tone

The Nordkette stop used the Skyline Park above Innsbruck as a compact laboratory for Jib League’s second year. The Jump Session gave the season its first public test, followed by a Battleship feature and the Bonkerz setup. Best Trick awards showed how varied the riding was: Rell Harwood and Tom Greenway stood out in the Jump Session, Olivia Asselin and Frostad in the Battleship Session, then Olivia Asselin and Mikkel BK in the Bonkerz Session. The stop mattered because it proved Season 1 was not a novelty. Jib League could return to a known venue, keep the same peer-voted energy and still produce fresh tricks from the same basic terrain language.

Sugar Bowl Made Jib League American

The second stop moved the format to California and gave Jib League its first American chapter. Sugar Bowl hosted the Open and Pro Sessions from April 7 to 10 2024, putting the riders into a Sierra spring setting rather than an Innsbruck skyline park. The three feature themes were distinct: a Tree Session, a Diamond Hip Session and a Rail Session. The overall result went to Jake Mageau, followed by Mac Forehand and Jackson Wells. Best Trick awards went to Rell Harwood and Mageau on the tree feature, Olivia Asselin and Édouard Therriault on the Diamond Hip, then Taylor Lundquist and Jackson Jenkins on the rail. That stop widened the series without turning it into a standard American slopestyle event.

Myrkdalen Closed The Season On A Wall

The final stop took place at Myrkdalen in Norway, where the season ended with the S Rail, the KangKlaus Rock n Roller knuckle setup and a Wallride Session. Frostad won the final stop and locked the season title, while Max Moffat and Ferdinand Dahl completed the Myrkdalen overall podium. The best-trick list showed how broad the finale became: Jennie-Lee Burmansson and Trym Synde Andreassen on the S Rail, Anni Karava and Frostad on the knuckle, then Burmansson and Pierre Emile Rochat on the Wallride. The finale worked because it asked riders to solve awkward features, not simply repeat known slopestyle tricks.

Founders Kept The Format Close To Skiers

Jib League’s second season stayed tied to the founding idea built by James Woods, Øystein Bråten and Ferdinand Dahl. The competition had sponsors, broadcasts and a growing audience, but the format still belonged to the skiers in the room. That is the reason Season 2 carries more archive value than a normal rail jam. It documented a different power structure: riders watched each other, voted for each other and decided what counted as the best skiing. In a sport often pushed toward cleaner courses and standardized scoring, Jib League Season 2 protected style, feature reading and peer respect as measurable values.

Where Season Two Fits In Freeski History

Jib League Season 2 should be indexed as a major alternative freeski competition season, not as a single contest stop. Its core facts are clear: three stops, Nordkette, Sugar Bowl, Myrkdalen, Pro Sessions, Open qualifiers, anonymous rider votes and Tormod Frostad as champion. It also created a stronger international footprint than Season 1 by adding California while keeping Norway and Austria central. The permanent value is the result list and the format shift together. Season 2 showed that Jib League could travel, keep its identity and still crown a champion through the judgment of the riders themselves.
