  • Banzai Tour & NASTC Alpine Meadows Course

    Daron Rahlves’ Banzai Tour (sponsored by Sugar Bowl Resort) and the NASTC All Conditions/All Terrain course are both taking place at Alpine Meadows on January 23rd!  What a sweet “two for one” deal, an opportunity to get great coaching from the top instructors in the country, ski a great mountain and witness a one-of-a-kind event that incorporates the disciplines of big mountain skiing, downhill racing and skier-cross – guess that makes a “three for one” deal.   Alpine Meadows is the first stop of the Banzai Tour – which is a 4 person race through gates in off-piste terrain for a $10,000 prize purse.  The overall winner of the tour has the opportunity to win $50,000.  The legendary terrain of the Alpine Meadows’ Beaver Bowl presents a unique venue for Banzai competitors as it offers a lengthy run with lots of natural features to build a course through and make it exciting. Join us at the All Conditions/All Terrain at Alpine Meadows for three days of fun, excitement and great skiing and become inspired to push the limits of your skiing further by watching great skiers like Daron Rahlves navigate through challenging terrain pushing the boundaries of their own skiing. more>>
