Baldy Banked Slalom
The old halfpipe on Baldy was put to good use Sunday, as the SVSEF and Smith Sport Optics teamed up to stage the first annual Baldy Banked Slalom. The event attracted a whopping 96 snowboarders. The course ran from the top of the old halfpipe on Warm Springs to the finish at the race shack.
"It was phenomenal," SVSEF Snowboard Director Andy Gilbert said. "Cory Smith (Smith Sport Optics) did a fantastic job. It was his (Cory's) brainchild and really brought the larger snowboard community out in force."
Class champions were Spencer Cordavano, Desiree Melacon and Clyde Montgomery. All three received automatic berths in the famed legendary Mount Baker Banked Slalom in Washington next month. According to Gilbert it is the oldest snowboarding event in the world.
Gilbert remarked on the first-time event's success.
"It was an event that was approachable by the larger snowboard community. This was you against the clock," he said. "It was extremely fun. You had 6-year-olds and 60-year-olds in the same course. It was really neat to have an event where we could all get together. We don't get to do that very often."
