The Terrain Park Book Camp is an entry level terrain park that will be set up on Fanny Hill. Aspen Valley Ski & Snowboard Club coaches and athletes will teach beginners (13 and up) how to safely slide a rail, hit a box and throw a trick. From children to parents, this is open to anyone interested in learning the ropes of the terrain park.

Red Bull Schneetag – March 27

If you were there last year, you know that is an event not to miss! This is the third annual Schneetag event (pronounced Sh-knee Tog) invites teams of four to create a craft that they will pilot down Fanny Hill in Snowmass and attempt to float across a 75x20 foot pond. Every team has a theme and will perform a skit before they descend. This event is just as ridiculous and hilarious as it sounds. Last year Red Bull awarded the first, second and third place teams with amazing prizes, from a trip to a NASCAR race to paragliding flights with the Red Bull Airforce. Stay tuned for this year’s prizes!

Helly Hansen Battle in the Bowls – March 28

Helly Hansen Battle in the Bowls will be back for the third year…once Highlands Mountain opens, you better start training! Forty-six teams of two skied the many bowls of Aspen Highlands on a course designed by Aspen/Snowmass athlete Chris Davenport. Teams could take any route they desired as long as they completed every run listed on the course. Flaik GSP devices tracked the athletes as they charged across the mountain. Each team’s final time was an average of its member’s times. Last year’s winning team finished the course in 3 hours and 9 minutes!
