Day 1 Recap
Adrenaline coursed through the veins of 186 fearless competitors today as they carved through the qualifying round of the Dick's Ditch banked slalom competition! With determination and the thunderous roar of fans propelling them forward, these competitors unleashed their skills on a single exhilarating run. Each turn and jump was a battle in pursuit of securing a coveted spot in Sunday's heart-pounding finals. And let's not forget the ultimate prize awaiting the victors: a prestigious custom Dick's Ditch belt buckle gleaming with glory (and prize money in the Pro divisions).
This flowy, banked course snaked through the man-made and natural terrain in Dick’s Ditch, on the man-made and natural terrain from below Nez Perce down through classic upper Dick’s Ditch to finish.
