Welcome to the first contest of the 2023-24 season held in Mt Baker’s The Sticks FFZ, located off C-¾!

Timbrrr! Best Trick Contest is an ode to The Sticks’ humble beginnings when there were only a few wooden features in the zone. While we have expanded in the last few seasons, sliding wood rails is often more strategy than spectacle given their natural stickiness compared to metal. Come get tricky with us like the good ole days!

This contest is for Intermediate and Advanced level freestyle skiers and snowboarders and will feature an exclusive wooden rail setup for contestants separate from the public line. The contest will be in jam format with heats divided by ability level.

Make sure to read all the rules below before considering entering.

*This event does not have a Beginner catagory. Events held later in the season will include Beginner level Ski and Snowboard categories. In the meantime, come by and check out our Beginner Line or inquire with Instruction about Intro To Freestyle Clinic availability.

Participants will indicate they are ready to take their turn by announcing they are DROPPING.

COMPETITORS MUST ATTEND RIDER MEETING @10:45 for more details about format.

No using features during the feature maintenance periods between heats as The Sticks Staff or Community Event Hosts will be doing course maintenance.

No sandbagging. If you are an expert you know it, if not you are an intermediate. It will be immediately obvious to the event crew and your fellow competitors if your intention is to under claim your abilities.
