Dick’s Ditch Banked Slalom 2014

Posted on: March 14th, 2014 by thcAdmin No Comments

Skier competition March 7-9 and Snowboarder competition March 14-16, 2014

The Dick’s Ditch event will span two weekends again this year. The first weekend, March 7-9, will feature skiers. The following weekend, March 14-16, will feature snowboarders. The format for both race weekends will hold qualifiers on Saturday and “winner-takes-all” on Sundays.

Dick’s Ditch Classic utilizes a natural ditch which winds its way down most of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. The race event utilizes the ravine which runs through the middle portion of the mountain. “This “big mountain ditch” has huge banked walls with steep pitches and opportunities for plenty of air. The course’s natural terrain is “enhanced” with some manmade features providing an amazing venue for this ski and snowboard race. The event format is that of a banked slalom. This race course changes a bit each year and is like nothing you’ve seen before.

This is a wild event which is sure to feature a few spills and some wild riding. Rollers, gaps, bumps and jumps are just a few of the manmade features that keep racers on edge.

Competition heats up over the weekend as racers become familiar with the course and conditions. There is prize money and awards up for grabs. This event attracts many of the area’s best all-around riders. Many of the top local riders look forward to this event each year as competition continually heats up.

As the event has matured over the years the course has become more exciting and refined. Doing some laps off of the Marmot Chair can provide some good viewing opportunities from the chair and along the course. Be sure to take in some of the action over the two weekends if you are out at the village.
