Throwin’ it down at Sun Peaks Resort
March 20, 2008 – Sun Peaks, BC – The season isn’t over yet and skiers and snowboarders alike will be showing off their skills at three upcoming events at Sun Peaks Resort.
The Garden - Sunday, March 23rd, 2008
The Garden, presented by Oronge Board Shop, is set to drop at Sun Peaks for the second time this year. The event format will be based on the basketball game of H-O-R-S-E, where contestants compete against each other on each feature. Skiers will compete against skiers and snowboarders against snowboarders. The jam will take place in the Blue Park, with a fresh layout to keep things interesting. Register between 8:30am and 10:30am on Sunday morning in the Village Day Lodge breezeway.
Coors Light “Quest for the Holy Rail” – Saturday, March 29th
Explore Sun Peaks Resort and follow the clues in search of the Holy Rail. On the way, Holy Rail teams of two will be collecting clues and playing cards to try and form the best poker hand in the competition. The final playing card is given out at the location of the Holy Rail, where at least one team member must ride the rail to receive that final card. Once your team has all five cards, head back to Bottom’s to see if their poker hand is the highest. The best poker hand wins a Coors Light Peak Party Trip for two people. And there’s plenty of swag being handed out to individuals for best trick, best bail, best style, worst style and best outfit. To register in Kamloops, visit the Oronge Board Shop at 257 Victoria Street, or register the day of the event at Bottom’s Bar and Grill from 10am to 11am.
Chairman of the Board – Sunday, March 30th
The competition is set to be fierce at the first annual Chairman of the Board, presented by 378 Board Shop. This rail jam will be taking snowboarders to the top of the terrain park to session the more advanced rails. Riders will be split into three categories and after a half hour jam session for each group, judges will select the top three riders for each category to face off head to head. There’s cash to be won, plus a ton of goods from event sponsors. Register on event day between 9am and 10:30am in the Village Day Lodge breezeway.
