Official Rules
Effective June 30, 2026 · Last amended August 10, 2026
These rules govern the Road to Winter pre-season challenge by Adrenaline Performance. By joining, you agree to them.
Amended August 10, 2026: section 8 adds a limit of 2 weekly prizes per participant, and section 9 confirms the limit does not affect the grand prize. No points, scores, or leaderboard placings change as a result.
1. No purchase necessary
No purchase or payment of any kind is necessary to enter or win. Road to Winter is free to join. A purchase will not improve your chances of winning.
2. Sponsor and prizing partner
Road to Winter (the "Challenge") is run by Adrenaline Performance("AP", "we", "us"). Prizes are provided in partnership with Rossignol. Rossignol is a prizing partner only and is not the administrator of the Challenge.
3. Eligibility
Open to individuals worldwide, except where participation or prize fulfillment is prohibited or restricted by law. Void where prohibited. You must be at least 13 years old to participate and to be eligible for prizes. If you are under 18 (or the age of majority where you live), public featuring (use of your name, photo, or social handle in AP marketing) and prize fulfillment require verified parental or guardian consent, which AP may collect before featuring you or awarding a prize. Employees, contractors, and immediate family of AP and Rossignol involved in running the Challenge are not eligible to win. Winners may be required to confirm eligibility before a prize is awarded.
4. Challenge period
The Challenge runs from July 2, 2026 to December 7, 2026. It is organized into weeks, each with its own challenges and deadline. All deadlines use Pacific Time (America/Vancouver). Once a week's deadline passes, that week is closed and its results are locked, except where AP grants an explicit administrative exception.
5. How to enter
Create a free account, complete the weekly challenges, and submit your results before each week's deadline. You may optionally attach a video of your effort. A reviewed video is required to be eligible for prizes. You may edit your result any time before the deadline. Submitting false, manipulated, or fraudulent results may result in disqualification.
6. Scoring
Scoring is fully automated, with no manual judging. Points come from completion, an optional video bonus, an automated performance bonus on measured challenges (based on where your result ranks against the field), and a consistency bonus for completing the previous week's challenge in full. During a week your score is live and only goes up; performance bonuses are calculated and the weekly ranking locks when the week closes. Full detail is on the How scoring works page.
7. Weekly prizes
Each week, the top-ranked eligible participant for that week wins a Rossignolprize, with the winner's choice of select apparel or trail-running footwear (subject to availability). To be eligible for a weekly prize you must have a reviewed, prize-eligible submission and meet the eligibility requirements above. Exact ties are broken first by the published tie-breaker (challenges completed, then videos, then performance, then distinct training days) and, if still tied, by a random draw among the tied participants.
8. Weekly prize limit: two per participant
The weekly prize pool holds two distinct Rossignol items, so each participant may win at most 2 weekly prizes over the Challenge. Once you have won 2weeks, you are no longer eligible for further weekly prizes, and each later week's prize goes to the next eligible participant in that week's final ranking.
This limit applies to the weekly prize only, and it takes nothing away from you. You keep every point you have earned, you keep your place on the weekly and overall leaderboards (including first place, if that is where you finish), and you stay fully eligible for the grand prize.
9. Grand prize
At the end of the Challenge, AP determines the grand-prize winner from the final overall standings and verifies their eligibility before awarding. The grand prize goes to the eligible participant with the highest overall score across the full campaign: a complete Rossignolsetup (skis, bindings, jacket and bib, and a helmet and goggle). Overall standings are the sum of each week's final score. The weekly prize limit in section 8 does not apply here: a participant who has already won 2 weekly prizes can still win the grand prize. Ties are broken by the published tie-breaker and, if still tied, by a random draw among the tied participants.
10. Winner notification and prize fulfillment
Winners are determined from the automated standings and notified by email at the address on their account. A winner must respond and confirm their eligibility and shipping details within 7 days of notification, or an alternate eligible winner may be selected. Prizes are fulfilled by AP and Rossignol. Specific styles, sizes, and colors depend on availability; AP and Rossignol may substitute a prize of comparable value. Prizes are non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash. Winners are responsible for any taxes, customs, duties, or import fees that apply where they live.
11. Content and likeness
Videos you upload are private by default. AP reviews submitted videos before any public or sponsor use. AP may feature, publish, or reuse your submitted content and display name only in line with the consent settings you choose in your profile, which you can change at any time. See our Privacy page for how your data is handled.
12. Conduct and disqualification
AP may disqualify any participant who cheats, submits false or manipulated results, abuses the platform, harasses others, or violates these rules. AP may remove submissions and adjust scores to keep the leaderboard fair.
13. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, AP and Rossignolare not responsible for injury, loss, or damage arising from participation in the Challenge or the use or misuse of any prize. You participate in all physical activity at your own risk and should consult a healthcare professional before starting any new training. The Challenge is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind.
14. Governing law
These rules are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute will be handled in the courts located there, except where local law gives you a non-waivable right to another forum.
15. Independence
The Challenge is not sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Instagram, Apple, Google, or any platform used to access it.
