The qualifying round of the Dick's Ditch banked slalom competition went down today with 205 competitors giving it their all on one run, vying for a spot at Sunday's finals and the chance to take home the glory and a custom Dick's Ditch belt buckle (and prize money in the Pro divisions).

This flowy, banked course snaked through the man-made and natural terrain in Dick’s Ditch, from Nez Perce Traverse down to “Marlboro” area, with a jump leading into a final banked turn before the finish line. After an adrenaline-packed run that saw no shortage of crashes, competitors took the Marmot lift back up for an overhead view of their fellow competitors darting through the course. Competitors and their fans could also watch live updates online, to see how their time was stacking up against the pack and identify in real-time if they were on track to make the cut. 

70% of the field in each category advances to Sunday's competition. Here was the fastest time and cutoff qualifying time in each division:
