Best ski fails – Crash of the Year 2024

Sometimes we lose our balance completely when skiing and fall over. Did you manage to get the crash on film? Yes, then you can take part in our “Crash of the Year” competition and win really nice prizes from K2, Plum and Flaxta.

This year’s competition has now been decided. See our compilation video with this year’s fails. We have also opened the upload for next year’s competition, prize tables will be presented later.

Crash of the Year 2024 is launched! This winter, the competition is presented by the insurance company Europeiska ERV, which has over 100 years of experience in making travel safer through insurance for both individuals and companies and offers travel insurance for all types of travel, both where you can customize the cover yourself and package solutions. They also have an emergency call center where their customers can call if necessary every day of the year, at all hours of the day.

This is how the competition works

The contest is super simple, in a nutshell: upload or link to your video clip of any kind of board or ski crash. Then you are in the competition. Read full competition rules and terms for this year’s crash. The competition runs until Sunday 24 March. And remember that a fail on, off or in the lift is also a crash.
