Slash and Berm slalom to benefit Molly’s Fund

KILLINGTON — Being held over the weekend of Feb. 27 – 28, Killington’s Slash and Berm is a two-day benefit banked slalom event held at Killington’s Stash Park to bring the East Coast snowboarding community together.

Snowboarders will gather at Killington’s “The Stash” terrain park to take advantage of the natural terrain and all the creative elements the mountain has to offer for a great cause. Saturday’s event is open to all snowboarders and will be timed individually. The action continues on Sunday with a Shop Team Invite only banked slalom event. Shops will enter teams to compete for the Slash & Berm Banked Slalom title.
