After a successful inaugural edition in 2025, the Rockstar Energy Open<\/a> is officially back for 2026. <\/strong>From December 18-20, some of the world\u2019s best freestyle snowboarders will take to Breckenridge<\/a>, Colorado, for a weekend of elite competitive snowboarding along with live music and peak vibes. The 2026 Open marks Breckenridge\u2019s second consecutive winter as host, and it will take place during the resort\u2019s popular Ullr Fest<\/a>, which runs from December 17-19, 2026.<\/p>\n

The Rockstar Energy Open is unlike any other snowboard competition out there. <\/strong>Instead of building a conventional slopestyle course, this event uses several unique features that often get skipped over by competitions like the Olympics and FIS World Cups. Massive hips, quarter pipes, butter rollers and giant down-flat-down-flat-down rails make for creative lines, encouraging each rider to dig deep into their bag of tricks to showcase their own unique style. The Open includes both a park style and rail jam \u2014 as well as men\u2019s and women\u2019s divisions \u2014 giving all competitors a chance to show their best snowboarding.<\/p>\n

Also unique to the Rockstar Energy Open is the Video Qualifier Series (VQS).<\/strong> The VQS is an online video competition that lets riders from anywhere in the world showcase their skills for a shot at competing in the Open. Riders who have not already qualified can compile trick clips together for a 30-second to one-minute video, sharing it with Rockstar. Weekly winners earn prizes, and top qualifiers earn a spot to compete in the event. The VQS begins on October 19.<\/p>\n
