We’re back and we’re turning up the heat. 🔥

After an unforgettable 2025 edition that brought thousands to Celebration Square: from massive tricks in the finals to that legendary cash-for-tricks session under the lights, APIK Mississauga returns January 30th to February 1st, 2026, for another round of insane snow action.

This year, we’re building a crazy setup, bringing in new international talent, and stacking the weekend with $100,000 CAD in prize money, split evenly between ski and snowboard, men and women.

Three days of energy, style, and progression right in the heart of the city.

Once the dust settles, it’s time for the finals, where each athlete throws down their best run to secure a spot on the podium, one chance to make it count under the lights and to claim a share of the $100,000 CAD prize purse, split evenly between ski and snowboard, men and women.

It all goes down on the lower section of the course, right in front of the crowd. It’s a rapid-fire jam packed with the weekend’s heaviest moves and $1,000 CAD up for grabs by flippin’ 20’s. Think of the craziest trick… you’d probably witness it.
