Though the elements have been less than generous this year, recent snowfall is allowing for late season recreational opportunities at the locals’ hill, Bridger Bowl. Take part in some alpine competition to show off your conditioned form. Here’s a look at what’s coming up.
First up, Bridger’s remaining Community Dual GS Series events, rescheduled from earlier this season, are open to citizen racers of all ages and boards – alpine skis, tele skis or snowboards. Compete against your friends! Take one run on the blue course and one run on the red course. Best of two timed runs. Upcoming races are set for March 2nd and 3rd.
A full weekend of competitive action is set for March 9th and 10th with the Slushy Slalom. Best of two timed runs on the banked slalom down the natural gully below Slushman’s Ravine. Snowboarders on Saturday and skiers on Sunday.
