Overview: The Hi-Standard Course will be open to the public to ride and will be joined by the Vans snowboard team on Sunday, March 5th.

Community and friendly competition often go hand-in-hand in the world of snowboarding, so the Hi-Standard Snowboard Series is centered around a unique competition model: a fun and open jam-style format that features both open and pro divisions. Competitors will be judged solely on their individual style, as no rotations over 720’ or inverted spins over 360’ are allowed.
 
The Open Division contest goes down on March 3, with $4,000 in cash-for-trick prizes and a chance for four “MVPs” to advance to March 4’s Pro Division contest, competing against 32 invited pros for $6,000 in cash-for-trick prizes and a $10,000 prize for both men’s and women’s division winners. All Open Division participants will receive free registration, lift tickets, and lunch vouchers. Additionally, the course will be accessible for the general public to experience on March 5.
 
The Hi-Standard Snowboard Series is free to attend for all.
