Seeking out the best amateur snowboarders and freeskiers across the country this winter, the Gatorade Free Flow Tour announced the complete schedule for the inaugural 2010 season.

Snowboarding disciplines will have separate competitions for men and women, while the freeski contests will be open to both.

The 10-event schedule, which boasts between three and six winners per stop, will include resorts in all areas of the United States the East (3) and West Coasts (3), the Midwest (1) and the Rocky (2) and Wasatch Mountains (1).

The winners in each of the 51 contests (30 slopestyle and 21 superpipe) will be flown to the Gatorade Free Flow Tour Finals, taking place in conjunction with the Winter Dew Tour s Toyota Championship, February 5-7 at Mount Snow Resort in Vermont. Encompassing the Flow to Pro theme that is the cornerstone of the Gatorade Free Flow Tour, the two overall snowboard superpipe and slopestyle champions and the overall freeski superpipe and slopestyle champions earn a spot to compete against the pros at the first stop of the 2010-11 Winter Dew Tour the following season.
