On Friday, February 28th, the slopestyle competition will kick off!
What does the slopestyle competition involve?
Taking place in a terrain park the course will consist of one or two rail/box features and two or three small-medium size park jumps. Athletes will receive a score based on difficulty, variety, style, technique and creativity.
On Saturday, March 1st, the moguls competition will kick off!
What does the moguls competition involve?
Taking place on a moderately steep slope that is 120-180 m long the course consists of well developed moguls and 1-2 airs. Athletes will receive a score based on their technique, control and fluidity in the moguls as well as their execution, difficulty and style on the air. Being able to seamlessly transition from the air back into the moguls is key to a good score. We recommend athletes take part in a skillsquest event before taking on a moguls event.

ACES Wild Perspectives | Science on Skis: Traversing the Juneau Ice Field, Carbondale
Wild Perspectives, launched in January 2020, provides an opportunity for community-building and story-telling, brought to you by ACES in partnership with The Collective. Science on Skis: Traversing the Juneau Icefield is about Izzo’s experience as a student with the Juneau Icefield Research Program (JIRP). Since 1946, JIRP has facilitated two months of immersive, hands-on glaciology research across the Icefield. Izzo will share about glaciological field methods, camp life and logistics, and hopefully answer the question: why study glaciers in a warming climate? Izzo Steenrod is a Naturalist at the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies (ACES) and lives at Toklat in the Castle Creek Valley. She studied geology at Colorado College and finds endless inspiration in the outdoors. Her passions for skiing, outdoor education, adventure, and earth science all combined during a summer spent on the Juneau Icefield.

Outdoor Divas Women’s Demo Day, Loveland Ski Area
Ski smarter. Ski stronger. Ski like a girl. Free Women’s Ski Demo Day at Loveland Ski Area February 5!
If you’ve ever been to a traditional ski demo, you know the drill — long lines, lots of dudes, and not much focus on women’s gear. Outdoor Divas Women’s Demo Days are different. In fact, they’re the only ski demo events in the entire country designed just for women.
At Loveland Ski Area, you’ll have the chance to test the newest women’s skis — back-to-back, in real conditions — without the pressure or chaos of a typical demo. Our team curates the best selection from top brands, set up specifically for women, and we’re right there to answer questions, share insights, and help you zero in on what feels best underfoot.
It’s more than a gear test. It’s a supportive, fun, and refreshingly different way to discover skis that actually work for you. From confident cruisers to adventurous powder seekers, women of all levels will find something that elevates their day on the hill.

If you’re lucky enough to find it and bring it back to the race finish, you could win a great prize from one of our sponsors!

Come be a part of history! Banked slaloms have a renowned place in the saga of snowboarding—it all began in 1985 with the Mt. Baker Legendary Banked Slalom, the longest-running snowboard competition in North America. This year, Powderhorn is honored to present our second annual Duke’s Ditch Banked Slalom, a new event created to draw our snowboarding community closer together. The Duke’s Ditch Banked Slalom is named in honor of the late, great Duke Taylor, who was instrumental in making snowboarding accessible to the Western Slope. This race course will be built through the cooperative efforts our staff and volunteer racers. Through this event, our shared passion for standing sideways boosts sportsmanship, camaraderie, recognition, and growth for boardin’ culture in Western Colorado. So condition those quads, tune your board, and get ready to drag knuckles… we’re absolutely thrilled by the opportunity to kick off our own banked slalom tradition, Wild West style!
We will also be hosting Vintage Day on Saturday during the Banked Slalom event. Experience snowboard history up close! Over 60 legendary vintage boards will be on display, showcasing the evolution of the sport – from icon graphics to game-changing shape. This epic collection is brought to you by some of the biggest collectors on the Western Slope. Bring a throwback board made before 1990 to have a chance to ride the course when the race is over.

We have changed the name to The Pash & Burn Banked Slalom, an ode to Alex Pashley, one of the founders of the event, and more widely loved Snowboard Industry professionals. We lost Pashley last season in the backcountry while he was out doing what he did best – hyping up riders through encouragement, shit talking, laughs, and his contagious love for snowboarding.
This coming season we are going to be raising money in Pashley’s name to be donated to Routt County Search & Rescue + Teton County Search & Rescue, two organizations that were important to him.
