The 2005 Arctic Challenge

 

This was the official website for the 2005 Arctic Challenge.
Content is from the site's 2005 archived pages.

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 Håkonsen. It 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 formerly held the status as the final for the "World Snowboard Tour". Held in Norway annually it was usually at a location north of the Arctic Circle. After 2005 The Artic Challenged moved to Oslo which is south of the Artic Circle.

Creating the TTR: As loud as his ‘No’ before the Olympics, his ‘Yes’ reached thunderous volumes. Terje’s decision to open The Arctic Challenge to qualification via other events started the ball rolling. A fury of circular emails preceded a meeting on the 13th of September in the Mercedes Hotel, Hossegor, France.

TTR Press Releases

TTR press release: The Arctic Challenge’ hammered by Northern Storms

 28. september 2005

It has been a gigantic year for the TTR Society. Twenty events on the Qualifying and Pro Series calendar, over one million dollars in prize money, thousands of spectators watching hundreds of the most talented rookies and Professional Freestyle Snowboarders entertain and compete on a tour, whose credibility is built on creative competition formats coupled with the best in entertainment programs. Athlete and partner hosting is of highest priority. TV production and distribution is quality controlled. Both horizontal and vertical press is coordinated by event organizers and dedicated a TTR press department.

The TTR is snowboarding showcase. Events take pride in offering a well-rounded program for both participant and non-participant, serving the highest level of performing artist action gratified by the six-digit prize pool.

And, as the 2004/2005 TTR Tour comes to an end, riders, their sponsors, event organizers and partners, the press, its target consumer and casual participants all may take a well deserved break, reflecting, recovering, and planning summer activities. It has been a long season, the weather sometimes kind, sometimes, like this week during ‘The Arctic Challenge,’ cruel.

Nonetheless, even with the TTR Pro Series Tour Finale’ losing two of three event categories to rain, wind and unkind temperatures ‘The Arctic Challenge’ was, for the last three TTR seasons, the catalyst to the tour’s structure, the gathering of the worlds very best athletes and a statement of determination to create rider initiated event programs, credible courses and the best in hospitality, all of which packaged, into an entertaining, yet threaded post production.

After an explosive start in Tromso, seeing tour leader Andy Finch again dominating the ‘Highest Air’ and ‘Best trick’ categories, with young Swiss rider, Markus Keller, through his consistent excellence taking the ‘Overall’ Quarterpipe title ‘The Arctic Challenge’ moved into phase two.

But as fate has it the Halfpipe, planned to take place in Finnses, was plagued by the northern storms. The persistent bad weather reduced its once grand walls to a sad, unrideable state forcing the organizers to redesign the planned event into a crowd pleasing *show consisting of a Straightair and smaller but credible 5.0m Quarterpipe.
*See below for session results
The loss of the Halfpipe event left only the Slopestyle in Stamsund, Lofoton. And so, the entire organization crew including athletes and media headed by boat to the event site. And, as the boat landed on the shores of Stamsund, the final leg of ‘The Arctic Challenge’s three stop event structure, so too did the weather. Extreme winds, heavy rainstorms and unusual Arctic temperatures put a stop to any hopes of pulling off the final days activities. With competitions closed, and the frustration brushed to one side, the focus was redirected to enjoying an end of season festive evening with comrades, partners, fueled by an exclusive concert by Norwegian Band Turbonego. You can truly say the event was ‘Arctic Challenged!’

Burton sponsored the TAC women!

10. april 2005

The girls rode hard at TAC! Burton sponsored the TAC 2005 womens event, Burton Dame Double Down.

            The Burton Dame Double Down was a platform for a group of hand-picked women to showcase their talents and skills to a worldwide audience and the global snowboard community. The invited list of riders included: Anne Molin Kongsgaard, Gretchen Bleiler, Torah Bright, Elena Height, Silvia Mittermuller, Dorianne Vidal and Kjersti Buaas. Not only are prizes at stake, but in the midst of the world’s most respected riders, nods from peers are sure to hold a lot of weight.

“The Arctic Challenge is one of the most progressive, rider-driven events in the world,” says Burton’s marketing consultant and Olympic gold medalist, Nicola Thost. “It’s been all about the guys for the past five years, and although some ladies would drop in here and there, they’ve never gotten the recognition they’ve deserved. Burton’s development of the Dame Double Down with the Arctic Challenge is huge and shows how committed Burton is to supporting all types of riders.”

In addition to prizes awarded for performance in halfpipe and quarterpipe, Burton presented a special bonus prize for the most progressive riding to be determined by the judges. $3500 will be awarded in the form of a weekend shopping trip to New York City, a trip to an exotic destination of the winner’s choice or a charitable donation. Known for handing out equal prize money for women at the US Open and supporting female riders worldwide, Burton hosted the women’s specific event at The Arctic Challenge. Partnering with the sponsor and providing special funding for promotional expenses is US based CleanItSupply, distributor and online vendor of cleaning supplies and products.

 



 

 Stop oil drilling in Lofoten!

28. september 2005

Say no to oil drilling in Lofoten! The Arctic Challenge calls for action! Sign up and keep Lofoten clean.

How to sign up: E-mail us at sayno@the-arctic-challenge.com with your full name and residence.

As a guest of The Arctic Challenge, we call upon your help to stop the plans of oil drilling in Lofoten - read all about it here!

The Norwegian Government and the International oil industry are planning to start searching for oil just outside the coastline of Lofoten. In addition to the oil drilling, the oiltankers with their dangerous cargo represent a risk for an environmental catastrophe effecting Lofotens fragile coastal environment. An invasion of oil industry would stand for a dramatic wound to the aesthetic symbol of this stunning arctic nature.

The minister of Environment in Norway has nominated Lofoten to UNESCO’s World Heritage List; protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity. All of you who have been there clearly know why. It is beyond our comprehension that the Norwegian Government, who already brings in around 30 billion dollar a year in oil income and have a national oil fund of 155 billion dollar, is even considering an oil project in this “holy” area. It is also a direct contradiction to the Norwegian tourist strategy which focuses on presenting a clean nature to the International tourist.

The Arctic Challenge has been working with the environmental organisation Bellona for several years. We are now picking up this fight together and we intend to win it. But there is a huge risk that the oil industry and Government will prevail if this becomes a Norwegian issue only. Especially the oil industry has enormous recourses. They are already influencing national and local politicians, business, media and organisations with their powerful apparatus.

We need International pressure to stop this project. Lofoten is a part of the world’s heritage. The Norwegian government cannot decide about Lofoten without listening to the International opinion.

The International boarding community is perhaps more qualified to initiate this opinion than anyone else. You have all been there and enjoyed the beauty and peace of the clean Lofoten mountains and sea. We urge you to support this cause by replying. It is parlament election in Norway this fall, and your voice will influence the agenda and the crucial decisions that need to be made.

 



 

Introduction to TAC05

Welcome to The Arctic Challenge accreditation pages. If you wish to accredit to the event, please continue reading. Note! If you're coming as a spectator, there's no need for you to fill out the accreditation form.
This page will provide you with useful information before you start to accredit. Information about the program, locations, special deals and prices on accommodation, boat travels, air fares and meal plan deals may come in handy before you start plotting in the data.


How are we supposed to cope with traveling to all these places?
The Arctic Challenge takes place in Tromsø, Finnsnes and Stamsund.
It might sound confusing to participate in an event spread over different islands in the arctic North. But don't worry; we have the whole trip arranged if you choose to go with the TAC transportation plan; you just need to reserve seats. Here it goes:

• Tuesday 29th and Wednesday 30th are arrival days. A hip hop concert will kick things off Tuesday night, and there will be plenty of possibilities for fun and games of different kinds throughout Wednesday warming everyone up for the big week ahead.

• Early morning Thursday 31st we all travel out to a small village called Finnsnes where a halfpipe session takes place. We will travel in a joint group; just be sure to reserve a seat as you fill out the accreditation form. We will head back to Tromsø in the night.

• The following day, Friday 1st, the TAC shapers will unleash the huge quarterpipe beast for a session. Last year, shaper David Ny said he'd build the biggest quarterpipe he'd ever seen, let's find out what's up with this year's monster.

• The spectacular quarterpipe finals are scheduled to take place in Tromsø Saturday the 2nd, destined to turn cameras and heads of the local crowd in very unusual positions.

• After a short recovery from Saturday night's escapades we load the whole family on to the famous TAC charter boat (love boat?) and head towards Finnsnes for the great halfpipe qualification / finals Sunday the 3rd.

• Later that night we travel on to our final destination; the small fishing village Stamsund, where a massive slopestyle course once again is waiting for us. Stamsund is famous for hosting the legendary first (and last years) Arctic Challenge, and is situated far west in the large group of islands packed with stunning and snowy mountains sticking out of the Norwegian mainland, south west of Tromsø - also called Lofoten. The surrounding area offers breathtaking clean arctic nature that simply cannot leave you unchanged. And not to mention as much dried cod fish as you have ever dreamed of.

• A slopestyle session will take place in Stamsund Monday 4th of April, followed by the finals Tuesday 5th. In between competing everyone is free to explore every bit of the island by surfing, skating, free riding (if the weather Gods allow us), fishing and other likeable activities, as well as concerts at night. Wednesday 6th is scheduled as the final day and departure for all participants.

Due to weather conditions parts of this program might change. We will keep everyone accredited informed as the dates are getting closer.
How do I get to Tromsø?
To get to Tromsø you must travel by air from OSLO to TROMSØ. Norwegian (a flight company) offers extra special low price air fares for TAC participants. You can request to be contacted by Norwegian booking personnel through our accreditation form.

Just indicate which hotel price class you are interested in and they will get back to you with an offer within just a few days.
What's the deal with the meal plan in Tromsø?
TAC is famous for our organic gourmet meals. We offer organic lunch in the slopes and special evening dinners that truly put the event in an 'organic aura'. To make sure you get the chance to enjoy our meal plan you can indicate your meals of choice in the accreditation form. You can register for as many or as few as you like. You will pay for the requested meals when you arrive in Tromsø.

For airfares and more information, call Widerøe at +47 81001200 or www.wideroe.no. As Leknes is a small airport and the number of flights and seats (and not to mention baggage space) are limited. So those of you who wish to travel by air need to book early.
