DAY ONE – Friday, April 26, 2024
Banked Slalom at Mount Washington, Vancouver Island, BC
Camp in the parking lots at Mount Washington on Vancouver Island, build a DIY banked Slalom course and compete in the WestCoast Triple Plank Banked Slalom.
DIG DAY - JIB DAY SCHEDULE:
Come a day early - Thursday, April 25th, 2024, Noon-4pm: BYOS (bring your own shovel) Dig Day
PLEASE NOTE: the lifts stopped spinning in early March – be ready to earn your turns. Mount Washington assists for a few hours with a snowcat, but the course relies heavily on the creativity of snowboarders – in 2022-2023, volunteers built 20-plus banked walls and berms, leading into a bowl and a small tabletop, and a hip/quarterpipe popped up just past the finish line for “mandatory good times only.” What is the best part about volunteering? You can scope the course and session it before “race day.”
KORUA SHAPES EURO-CARVE LIMBO CONTEST:
Thursday, April 25th, 2024, After digging wraps up.
