This
discipline takes place in a semi-circular ditch (half of a pipe)
dug deep into the hill surface. The pipe is generally 12-15
feet deep with several feet of vertical wall leading to the
top.
This unique launching site offers riders a place to spin, get
big air and go inverted!
For halfpipe competitions, riders will make 2 runs through
the halfpipe while being judged on Difficulty, Execution,
Variety, and Amplitude. The top score of two runs will determine
ranking. |

| Snowboardcross is the newest
event to the snowboard scene and the roller derby of the hill.
Riders start in groups of 4-6 and race through a challenging
obstacle course, built with tabletop jumps, staircase drops,
moguls, banked turns and tight corridors. The challenge comes
from negotiating the obstacles, and the other riders, as each
competitor tries to come out ahead of the ack. In this a full-contact-anything-goes
style competition, only the first 2-3 riders to cross the finish
line advance to the next round - until the triumphant winner
emerges from the final heat! |

| SS takes place
