‘You Look Good’ at Sun Peaks Resort
Canada’s Premier Slopestyle Series – March 15th
March 11, 2008 – Sun Peaks, BC – Snowboarders are taking over the Sundance Terrain Park at Sun Peaks Resort on Saturday, March 15th for the You Look Good Rider’s Cup. The event at Sun Peaks wraps up the 2008 tour of Canada’s premier snowboard slopestyle series that has already stopped in Martock (Nova Scotia) Mont Tremblant (Quebec), Banff Norquay (Alberta) and Blue Mountain (Ontario). Sun Peaks is hosting the only event in British Columbia on a tour that hands out $25,000 in cash and $75,000 in prizing throughout Canada.
This is truly an ‘anything goes’ competition. There are no compulsory tricks and judges will be basing their decision on four aspects: trick execution and difficulty, progression, variety and risk. In addition, the judges do not have the benefit of knowing what the rider will perform.
Competitors will be divided into categories: Groms (12 and under), Renegades (13 to 15), Salomon Amateurs (16 and over) and Coors Light Pro Open (cash prizing).
Coors Light is one of the major sponsors of the You Look Good Rider’s Cup. Other sponsors include Much Music, Salomon, Ripzone International, Yamaha and Snowboard Canada Magazine.
Registration for the Sun Peaks event will take place on Friday, March 14th from 4 to 5pm in the breezeway of the Village Day Lodge and again Saturday morning from 7:30am to 9:30am. Your $45.00 registration fee includes a loot bag, annual subscription to SBC and a $5 bib deposit. Either cash or cheque will be accepted (payable to eventSing promotions).
The women’s and men’s qualifying rounds begin just after 10am and the finals will start at 1:45pm. Awards will be handed out at 4pm.
If you aren’t competing, this is a fantastic spectator event, so don’t miss out! For the best viewing, take the Sundance Express Chairlift to the top and ski down the Sundance run over to Sun Catcher and down to the park.
