SLVSH is a head-to-head game created by professional skier Matt Walker and Olympic Gold Medalist Joss Christensen, which sees Slopestyle skiers from all over the world battle it out between tricks.
Adapted from the popular H.O.R.S.E basketball game, the rules are pretty straight forward…
- Decide who goes first by Rock, Papers, Scissors
- Skier 1 calls out a trick
- If Skier 1 makes the trick, Skier 2 has to try the same trick. If Skier 2 makes the trick, Skier 1 calls out new trick and the game continues.
- If Skier 2 misses the trick, Skier 2 gets a letter. In this instance, “S.” The first skier to spell out the word SLVSH by missing five tricks loses.
- If Skier 1 calls out a trick and misses, then Skier 2 becomes the leader, and calls out a trick.
Skill level comes second to creativity and consistency, with the match ups released exclusively on www.slvsh.com every Tuesday.
