The global ski and snow online competition crowns Canada’s Jack MacDougall as 2018 Snowboard champion.
The Quiksilver Young Guns Ski & Snow competitions just wrapped up in epic conditions in Whistler, British Columbia. Initiated in 2015, this unique online competition is open to every rider under the age of 17, giving the talents of tomorrow the opportunity to shine alongside established Quiksilver legends such as Travis Rice, Austin Sweetin or Sammy Carlson.

Entering the competition was simple – all you needed was a short edit of yourself shredding, submitted via Instagram tagging @quiksilver and #YGSnowContest or #YGSskiContest. Hundreds of entries later, 4 lucky finalists of each category were invited to a trip of a lifetime, getting the chance to showcase their skills alongside their idols. No guidelines, no rules – just some great riding on frozen water and a world of opportunities.


For the snowboarders, head judge Austen Sweetin finished the event saying “The future of snowboarding is in good hands.”

Completely blown away by the level of riding the four finalists Miles Flacon (USA, 16 years), Jadyn Chomlack (USA, 15 years), Jack MacDougall (CAN, 17 years) and Cooper Whittier (USA, 16 years) pulled of in Whistler, Sweetin crowned Jack MacDougall as Young Guuns Snow champion after a ridiculous amount of fun in the Canadian resort.

On the first day, Quiksilver had a special surprise for the contenders: Backcountry legend Travis Rice made an unexpected cameo appearance taking the group heli-boarding. The next three days were spent ripping around the mountain, lapping the park, bombarding the lodge, letting loose and making this an unforgettable experience for everybody.
