OG Downhill - Sunday, March 22
Before there was a halfpipe, slopestyle or rail jams... snowboard events were all downhill. Here's your chance to strap in like it's 1983 - the year Stratton first welcomed snowboarding. This dual slalom race includes gates, rollers, and many turns on a red and blue course down Suntanner. Race your gear with a run on each course, sending it sideways on your board just like the snowboard contest pioneers did when and where it all began years ago.
You will need a valid season pass or lift ticket in addition to registering for the event.
Discounted tickets will be available at Guest Services on the day for registered competitors only. Guests can purchase the lift ticket for DAY THEY ARE COMPETING ONLY for 35.00 + tax. at inside ticket window.
