In 2007 the event was voted best big air event by freeskier magazine. Since 2007 he has also hosted Jon Olsson Super Sessions (JOSS), a freeskiing film contest that takes place in Åre, Sweden. The event consists of teams of skiers skiing for approximately two weeks with a film crew and creating a short ski film.
