Big air

SammyC Invitational 2010 was a planned big air invitational at Mt. Hood, Oregon | Discipline: big air | Format: weather cancelled session remembered for Sammy Carlson’s switch triple rodeo 1260



SammyC Invitational 2010 was planned as a big air event at Mt. Hood, Oregon, using a large custom jump built for Sammy Carlson and invited freeskiers. Public documentation does not support treating the 2010 edition as a completed contest with official rankings, podiums or scores. Weather delayed the event and eventually cancelled the competitive format, leaving the jump session rather than the results sheet as the permanent record.

The reason the 2010 edition still matters is the trick that came out of that cancelled setup. Carlson used the 110 foot jump to land skiing’s first switch triple rodeo 1260, a moment later referenced across freeski media as one of the technical jumps that pushed big air beyond the double cork era. The clip belongs more to progression history than to conventional competition history: no verified top three should be published, but the session should be archived because the feature produced a documented world first.

For skipowd.tv, SammyC Invitational 2010 should be indexed as a cancelled Mt. Hood big air edition, a Sammy Carlson progression session and the origin point for the switch triple rodeo 1260 footage. It is not a full competition results page. Its value is narrow, but the historical marker is strong enough to justify a short edition profile.
