Dick's Ditch 2024

March 22-24, 2024

Dick’s Ditch is a two-day banked slalom competition that runs on the man-made and natural terrain from below Nez Perce down through classic upper Dick’s Ditch to finish. This year’s Dick’s Ditch course will continue to honor the unique character of the event, with a nod to classic banked slalom culture. Friday is an optional inspection day. Saturday's run is a qualifier for the Sunday finals. 70% of the field in each category advances to Sunday's competition. Pro divisions earn cash prizes of $1000 for first place, $500 for second place, and $250 for third place.  

Registration is now closed.
