Go for the Gaming Gold at the Winter X-Games

ESPN the Games and Circuit City are teaming up to bring a video game competition to the 2001 Winter X Games in Mt. Snow, Vt. Competitors will go head-to-head in search of the fastest time in the slopestyle event of ESPN X-Games Snowboarding for the PlayStation 2. Local challenges will take place in ten metropolitan areas of the US between January 6 and January 20. One finalist from each city will be chosen to travel to Mt. Snow for the finals, while the second and third place finishers will receive snowboards and other prizes, respectively.
