Yeehaw! Rassle up your best western duds for a duelling day of dual banked slalom, cowboy style, on the slopes of Whitewater Mountain Resort. It's the Ymir Wiggle!
The Ymir Wiggle caps the ski season at Whitewater Mountain Resort with a BANG! (pun intended)
In this snowboard-only race, contestants go head-to-head in a winner-takes-all event. Racers in each category will race in pairs in a bracket-style elimination, with the winner of each heat progressing to the next bracket until only one is left.
Big prizes will be on the line, from sponsors including Burton Snowboards, Baldface Valhalla snowcats and Tribute Boardshop.
DJ tunes will be spinning as the racers throw down, so you can do the wiggle too!
Dressing up Western-ish is encouraged. Tunes will be provided by DJ Dudley Do Wrong, and DJ Rowly.
Location of the race will be on Sluice Box, descending to the day lodge.
