Did you know that Beaver Valley has:

 

- Back-less lift tickets to reduce paper waste

- One of the most energy efficient groomers

- Energy-efficient snow making systems

- Employees passionate to contributing to a sustainable future

- Been purchasing 100% recycled content paper products for all departments?!

 

And we bet that you’ve been a part of the hands-free, energy and water saving washrooms, the anti-idling campaign, the non-disposable kitchen ware…..and more!

 

Sustainability WorkshopAll this makes it pretty clear that Beaver Valley is planning to be a part of a sustainable future!  On March 10th, the Sustainability Committee hosted a Staff Sustainability Workshop where 26 BVSC employees participated in identifying the good stuff and the not-so-good stuff that Beaver Valley is doing to work towards a Sustainable Society.  All of the participant input will be included in a baseline report being created by the Sustainability committee this spring, to be shared with management and used to guide the next steps.  We will keep you updated with the process and exciting changes that emerge.  If you have any questions, please email sustainability@beavervalley.ca

CLUB SLOPESTYLE (PARK) SNOWBOARD & FREESKI CHAMPIONSHIP
SUNDAY MARCH 14th

The 4th annual Club SLOPESTYLE Snowboard & Freeski Championship is just over a week away, so make sure you sign up this weekend!

There are categories for both skiers and snowboarders, and if you ski as well as snowboard you can enter in both. There are multiple age categories from 6 & Under through to 40+ and everything in between for girls and guys.
This is BV’s most fun contest of year and it’s got more prizes than any event! If you ski or ride BV’s parks, big or small, you can enter.

It all takes place in Andy’s Playground Park. If you’re just getting started in the Park, don’t worry there will be small features added that you can ride! BV Park Manager Caleb Bosse is adding smaller features similar to Cat’s Meow progression park to Andy’s Playground for the Slopestyle Championship. Note to parents: you can shadow your child down the Slopestyle park course during their run.

You can register at the Clubhouse this Saturday, either at a registration table in the lobby beside the Senior Member’s Lounge or downstairs at the Club office. The cost is $5 for each of Snowboard and Ski categories or $10 if you want to compete in both. Please be sure to indicate snowboard or ski or both when you register. Note: helmets are mandatory.

SLOPESTYLE FORMAT
Slopestyle is a judged event with the emphasis on fun and style. Show-off your best tricks on your choice of park features. The competition will be a fun, free flowing “Jam Format”, one rider at a time. Riders will be organized into pre-assigned age group heats. Heat times will be posted in advance to indicate what time you compete (so you don’t have to wait around all day).

The Slopestyle course will consist of the top section of Andy’s Playground which will be updated as snow conditions permit with additional features, in particular some smaller jumps and boxes on the rider’s right side.

Younger competitors (10 & under) will receive one run, as will those who are 35 & over. For everyone else, we’ll try to provide two runs, time and conditions permitting.

SLOPESTYLE JUDGING & SCORING
There is no minimum number of tricks required – perform as many or few as you wish.

Slopestyle runs will be scored by judges as follows:
20% = Amplitude: the measure of energy of the run that is shown by the height or airtime of each maneuver off the terrain features.
20% = Difficulty of tricks, including doing a tricks switch, the number of rotations and what kind of grabs.
20% = Execution & Landings: tricks should be solid and smooth, with good control. Grabs should be distinct and held as long as possible.
40% = Style / Overall Impression: the overall composition of the run including the sequences and quantity of tricks, the amount of risk and how the rider uses the features.

EVENT SCHEDULE
Saturday March 6 & Sunday March 7
Registration at Club Office or Registration Table
Saturday, March 13
All Day – Practice, Andy’s Playground
