Eternal glory awaits the victor of the big Tri Nordic Cup event slated for SilverStar Mountain Resort Saturday.
You are invited to test your skill, daring and perseverance as teams complete a series of treacherous tasks on three different snow disciplines: cross-country skiing, telemark skiing and fat biking.
The course, on the snowcross track on the Milky Way run, includes a start gate, berms, rollers and more.
Each team mush have three members: cross-country skiier, telemark skier and fat biker. Each team member will compete twice in a head-to-head race against other team members in the same discipline. Points are awarded upon crossing the finish line (one point for first place, four points for fourth). The team with the lowest combined score at the end of the day wins.
Cost is $10 per person and registration will be on the day of the event from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. outside Guest Services.
CARTER CLASSIC
Join the Silver Star Adaptive Snow Sports volunteers and students in the 26th annual Carter Classic fun event Saturday to raise funds to support the SSASS programs.
Members of the Silver Star and North Okanagan communities of all skiing/snowboarding abilities are invited to participate.
This event is not only SSASS’ single fundraiser for the year but is an opportunity to join with a few mates on the hill for some fun and friendly competition. Not your usual ski race, this event relies on your ability to ‘guesstimate’ your time to navigate down a short, easy race course.
How do you participate?
Recruit two or three other friends/relatives/coworkers and register online at www.ssass.bc.ca. SSASS will supply a SSASS student to complete your team. Plan a costume (optional but fun)
On Saturday, all team members arrive at the National Altitute Training Center (NATC) team room (upstairs) at 8 a.m. to complete registration, waivers, hand in donations and collect race bib.
Take two runs on the race course located on Over-the-Hill (off of Far Out at Main Street). First run, you will be given your race time. Use this time as the basis of your ‘guesstimate’ of your next run down the course. The difference between your guess and actual time in the second run is your ‘score.’
GIRLS PARK DAYS
On Saturday, March 17, the Star will host Girls Park Days, which includes a full day of coaching with some of Canada Snowboard’s top women coaches.
Throughout the day you will learn new skills to take your riding to the next level and ride away with a new trick in the park.
Want to test your skills at the end of the day? Sign up with Silver Start to participate in the Smith Optics’ rail jam series where you will get a chance to ride with some rad ladies and be coached again in an event setting.
Camps are for girls aged 13+ with skills ranging from strong intermediate to advanced riders. Participants should already have basic snowboard skills in and out of the park in order to get the most from their attendance.
Cost: $140 plus tax with rail jam entry or $130 plus tax without rail jam entry - includes the day of coaching, 50 per cent off lift tickets, exclusive Nibz Neck Buff, Canada.

MONSTER ENERGY PRESENTS BOARDERSTYLES
WHEN Friday, March 30, 2018, 9 a.m. – Saturday, March 31, 4 p.m.
Qualifiers Friday, March 30, Finals March 31.
It’s back! The Monster Energy Boarderstyle touring is stopping at SilverStar again this season!
Entering its eighth year, Monster Energy Boarderstyle has gone from being an experimental event to a legitimate tour poised to make its greatest impression to date. With four event stops and $50,000 in prize money, the one-of-a-kind snowboard contest conceptualized by Monster Energy Canada is charging through British Columbia.
The tour kicks off at Fernie Alpine Resort, March 16-17; followed by SilverStar Mountain Resort, March 30-31 and Mount Washington Alpine Resort, April 6-7. The World finals are held in the Bethlehem of Boarderstyle, Whistler Blackcomb, April 13-14.
Every stop of the Monster Energy Boarderstyle Tour is free to enter and open to all competent riding abilities. The snowboard-only event consists of a Men’s and Women’s open category. On top of cash prizing, the winners of the Fernie, SilverStar and Mount Washington events will receive invites (including transportation and accommodation) to compete in the final event at Whistler Blackcomb.
Watching the chaos or competing in it is only half the fun. Monster Energy won’t just show up, they’ll bring the party. Each Boarderstyle stop guarantees a legendary after party. Monster DJ’s will keep the party lit till there’s nothing left in the tank. Don’t be caught on the outside looking in, make sure you attend the Monster Energy Boarderstyle Tour 2018.
Boarderstyle: [also see: fast-freestyle] A hybrid boardercross, slopestyle, obstacle course race where four riders run the gauntlet simultaneously. A step down jump awaits racers at the finish line. On this feature, it is mandatory to perform a full rotation trick (360 spin, flip, or greater). Riders will place in the order they cross the finish line. UNLESS! The rider placing behind performed a superior trick. Judged on difficulty, style, and execution. Judges then have the power to reverse the placing order of the riders in contention. Dreams will be shattered, glory will be stolen.
A tournament style bracket system has the top 2 placing riders from each round advancing onto the next until there is a 4 rider final race for the prize money.
What to expect: A unique course for each stop consisting of jibs, jumps, berms, rollers, pond-skims, spines, step-ups, DJ’s, high energy and great times.
MEN’S | 1st Place ($3,000), 2nd Place ($1,000), 3rd Place ($600), 4th Place ($400)
WOMEN’S | 1st Place ($3,000), 2nd Place ($1,000), 3rd Place ($600), 4th Place ($400)
