Snowboarders, this one is for you!

Get back to your snowboarding roots with the Dirty Dancer Banked Slalom, a throwback to the ’80s when snowboarders were the outlaws of the wild west, banned from most ski resorts and forced to fight for the right to shred! Well, times have changed, and we want you to celebrate by entering this awesome event for all ages.

Participants will get inspection and practice time each day and get one timed run on Saturday and a second on Sunday. The best time over the two days counts towards the podium! If you don’t podium, we will have lots of draw prizes from our sponsors, so there will be plenty of chances to win something!

CATEGORIES:

  • Mini Grom (9 and under)
  • Grom (Male/Female 10-14 yrs)
  • Youth (Male/Female 15-18 yrs)
  • Adult (Men & Women 19 - 39)

Open Categories are for those who just want to have fun and give it a try. If you're looking to really rip, go for the Pro category! A minimum of four riders is required for every category. Helmets are required.
