Annual Slash & Berm banked slalom event held this weekend at Killington

Friday-Sunday, March 3-5—KILLINGTON—Killington Resort, Darkside Snowboards, and Burton are teaming up once again for the 9th annual Slash & Berm Banked Slalom. Snowboarders will gather at The Stash terrain park in Killington to take advantage of the natural terrain and all the creative elements the mountain has to offer for a great cause. This year’s event will benefit Ryan Manning to help with his medical bills and care for the journey ahead.

The action will start on Friday with a shop team, invite-only banked slalom event. Local shops will enter teams to compete for the Slash & Berm Banked Slalom title.

Saturday’s event is open to all snowboarders and will be timed individually. 

The action continues on Sunday with the Grom event to take place in the Lil’ Stash at Ramshead.

Returning this year will be the Just for Fun Run. This will be geared for participants who’d like to run the course in a non-competitive manner. Just for Fun participants will still have their runs timed, but their runs won’t count towards the prizing for the Open/Legends divisions. All participants of this division will be entered into a raffle for some great prizing.

Registration & volunteer sign-ups for this event are open. Visit: Killington.com/events.

About The Stash

In 2003, Jake Burton started the conversation of his vision for a dream resort run. The run would blend freestyle and all mountain riding and give riders the features and lines to be as creative as possible while inspiring them to ride all types of terrain.

The Stash at Killington Resort is all about getting back to the roots of snowboarding and taking it back to the woods. We make the Stash runs as organic as the woods themselves. Every local has his or her favorite secret run. It’s the one you create from scratch, the one that’s a flowy mix of log jibs, pow slashes, speedy carves, jumps and drops all mixed-up along the way.
