KING OF THE MOUNTAIN Competition at Ski Sundown

It is time to decide!  Who among us is truly the best of the best - the KING OF THE MOUNTAIN!   In this NEW, fun-filled event we will test the skills of all who want to enter.  Within the age categories of 14 and under, 15-21 and 21+, we’ll see who can negotiate the slalom gates, jumps, and bumps to a victorious finish!  If you're an intermediate + skier or snowboarder, this event is for you!  Kids, Youth and Adults are all welcome to participate!


Registration opens at 11:30 AM at the Welcome Center.  The cost to enter is $5 and includes t-shirts for the first 50 to register.  Once you’ve received your Bib number you can begin practice.  Competition begins promptly at 1:00 pm.


Each skier or rider will be given two runs.  Best run counts.  You'll be scored based on overall style on the bumps and jumps, and a timed run on a NASTAR race course.
