Slash & Berm Banked Slalom

Killington Resort and Darkside Snowboards are teaming up once again for the 13th 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 to benefit a great cause.

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. The action continues on Saturday, when the event is open to all snowboarders and will be timed individually.

Returning for this year: Groms (snowboarders ages 13 & under) will be able to test their chops alongside the adults in The Stash on Saturday! Additionally, a Switch Run will take place during the afternoon on Saturday. This will only be open to the first 50 participants who sign up!

The action concludes on Sunday with the Grom Slalom event (for competitors ages 13 & under), which will take place in the Lil' Stash at Ramshead. Visit the Grom Slalom page to learn more.

This year, all proceeds from the event will be donated to Momentum Action Sports Fund for the support of the design and construction of a Skate Park in Killington, VT.

Volunteers

Killington Resort will host all 3 days of the event (including the Grom Slalom on Sunday), and we are looking for volunteer to help in 3 key areas: Registration, Gate Checkers, and Runners.

Volunteers will receive a lift ticket to return to Killington for every shift worked. Lift tickets earned are valid 1 year from the date they are received. Lunch will also be provided for each shift worked. Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older.

Stay tuned for more information regarding volunteer registration.

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 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 their 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.

We want to give a shout out to the photographers, videographers and a special shout out to The Stash Park Crews who work super hard to create, maintain and evolve these amazing runs for riders around the world to enjoy. The runs wouldn't be possible without them.
