Here is a summary of what is happening tonight -

The Rail Jam – This is the competition part of the event, it showcases skiers & snowboarders hitting the terrain park features as much as possible in a given amount of time.

Dash For Cash - will take place between the skiers and snowboarders jam sessions. Free to enter, run a wacky obstacle course for your chance to win $50! Just show up to the event, and listen to the MC for details. That means you can win money by coming to watch this event... why wouldn't you?

Torchlight Parade:Skiers or snowboarders holding torches in each hand will ski down from the top of Chair 2 in a single file formation for this Montana Winter Tradition, making for great pictures and something special for the entire family. You can either be a spectator or participant in this great holiday event. Spectators can gather in Ed and Mully’s until the time of the torchlight (announcements will be made). Spectator viewing is best from the slope side of Ed & Mully’s. Interested in skiing or snowboarding in the Torchlight Parade? See below for registration

Fireworks Show – Just after the Torchlight Parade, about 7pm.

Winter Carnival Court - There will be an appearance from the Winter Carnival Court, with the usual regalia to follow. If you enjoy Whitefish Tradition, do not miss this event.

ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST SIGN A WAIVER.

Series Overview

The Night Rider's Park Series is a series of 3 terrain park freestyle events open to both skiers and snowboarders. This series offers a great experience for first time competitors, as well as the chance for our best skiers and riders in the area to throw down in the park.

These events occur on 3 consecutive Saturdays from late January to February, focusing on separate freestyle disciplines.

The series consists of a Best Trick Contest (Sat, Jan 28), a Rail Jam (Saturday, Feb 4), and a full Terrain Park Slopestyle Event (Saturday, February 11). Each night we will host an awards ceremony at Ed and Mully's in the Upper Village area just after the competition

$1200 CASH PURSE for overall series winners of Pro/Open Class!

Night Riders Scoring System for Overall Winners

For the 'Best Trick' and 'Slopestyle' Events in the Night Riders Events, points will be awarded based on the following system.

1^stPlace 10 points, 2^ndPlace 9 points, 3^rdPlace 8 points, 4^thPlace 7 points, 5^thPlace 6 points, 6^thPlace 5 points, 7^thPlace 4 points, 8^thPlace 3 points, 9^thPlace 2 points, 10^thPlace 1 point, 11^thPlace and beyond - 0 points

For the 'Rail Jam' on Feb 5, judging is difficult due to over 30 riders riding at once. Because of this, we will award points on the following system

1^stPlace 10 points, 2^ndPlace 9 points, 3^rdPlace 8 points, 4^thPlace and beyond - each rider receives 5 series points.

In the event of a tie for overall points for the entire series, the tie breaker is the Slopestyle Event as it incorporates all facets of park riding.

4^th Annual DUMMY DERBY

Saturday, March 3^rd.

Imagine this...drinking beer from about a dozen breweries at the Whitefish Mountain Resort Brewfest held in the Upper Village, then just as things could not be better, you filter over to the venue of the DUMMY DERBY. There you watch homemade rafts (dummys on skis) crash after soaring over an enormous custom built jump.

Or, imagine this...Building a creative homemade raft (rules and specs below) with some buddies. Bring it up to the Dummy Derby, watch it get destroyed as it flies over an enormous jump, and possibly win $500!!!! Start building your dummy, it is free to enter!!!

Dummy Teams build dummies attached securely to skis or snowboards. Then send them down a groomed trough to launch off a jump into a crash pit!!! It's like NASCAR: drink beer and watch stuff crash! The only difference is the quality of redneck…and we are not saying which is better or worse!!!

Dummies must be brought to the upper village parking area (near Hellroaring Saloon) by 1pm the day of the event (You must park elsewhere after dropping off your dummy creation).

You may register your dummy there, where it must past inspection for the rules below. All dummies will be judged on their creativity and originality.

The jumping will begin at 4:30pm. (the event will be held on Lower Ed's Run). An awards ceremony will follow at the venue about 30 minutes after the last bit of destruction.

Contest Rules:
What you Can do:

• Build a homemade Dummy / mannequin / humanoid / sculpture on skis or snowboards.
• Each Dummy should be able to slide unassisted down a fall line course (the course will be on Lower Slalom)
• The dummy must have clothes on and be family friendly.
• Each entry must weigh under 225lbs, including skis and all. If snow conditions dictate, we may have to take your dummy apart and have you reassemble it at the top of the course.
• Build your entry from safe materials. - no glass, nails, toxic materials...
• The Dummy Team is required to clean up, haul away and dispose of their dummies and any debris, wreckage and remains afterward. A $50 clean up deposit will be collected at registration to ensure your help in cleaning this junk up!!!

What you can NOT do:

Dummy teams are encouraged to be as creative as they can. Rules are:

• The Dummy can not be (or ever have been) live or breathing.
• The Dummy can not weight more than 225 lbs.---skis and all
• The Dummy must be securely mounted on skis or snowboard(s).
• The Dummy may not have any glass or sharp metal objects.
• The Dummy may not have any motorization or explosives.
• The Dummy Team may not be more than 4 people (and no one will ride on the raft)

If you are not certain if your dummy idea meets these guidelines - call to make sure (862.2910)

Judging:
Half of the score is earned by most original design and the other half by how the dummies perform in the Downhill. A panel of judges will score Dummies on originality/creativity at 2pm. All criteria are totally subjective, and judges will be looking for winners in the following categories -

Dummy Awards:
Dummy Demo Derby Champions:

1st Place - Overall Score ( ½ originiality / creativity for your dummy, ½ jump distance)$500 CASH PRIZE to the overall winner!

Dummy Dude: Best Montana Themed Dummy

Dummy Delight: Sexiest Dummy (subject to harsh censorship)

Sunday - Slopestyle - Sunday March 18^th(Fishbowl Terrain Park)

DESCRIPTION:

This is a two part event that makes up our biggest terrain park event of the winter, the Corn Cup. The event gets its name from the 'corn snow' that is so fun to ride at the end of every season, created by the multiple freeze thaw cycles that happen every spring. Register for one day or for both days, and both events are open to both skiers and snowboarders. This event attracts some of the best skiers and boarders, as well as folks just looking for a good time. Good prizes, good folks, good times, good snow.

Saturday's event is a Skiercross and Boardercross (competing separately). These events, now also in the winter olympics, race two to five competitors at a time race through a course consisting of jumps, banks, rollers and traffic. Top 2 advance to next round, each rider has at least 2 chances before being eliminated in this tournament style bracketing system. This = fun.

Sunday is a slopestyle event in the Terrain Park. Slopestyle events provide the best opportunity for skiers and snowboarders to throw down their best tricks on full runs through the Fishbowl Terrain Park, using as many jumps and rail features as possible. Competitors will be judged on their performance of different tricks. Each competitor will get two runs where judges will pick the top rider for 1st, 2nd and 3rd in all categories, based on overall impression, style and difficulty.

Everyone must obey the Skiers Code. Ski safe, yield to others, and normal mountain etiquette applies. Please ask if unfamiliar. Course will be marked and racers must stay within the course.

Access Information/ Transition Logistics

This includes where, when and what to bring for each leg of the race.

This race is 14 miles long and requires multiple types of equipment. It would be hard to paddle the river carrying your bike and skis, or to bike carrying your skis. With that in mind, lets work out the details as to how to get this done.

INDIVIDUALS – Individuals require more planning than teams. The Events Crew will be available to help move your skis to the Base Lodge for the Mountain Section. We will also be on site at the Base Lodge with a secure storage area for you bike. Individual racers do need to be responsible for the security of their boats at Baker Ave Park. Individuals should be at the start no later than 8:30am to accommodate these moves. Individual racers should arrange for transportation back to town or take the SNOW bus.

TEAMS – Teams are required to be their own support staff. If one person is doing each section, they are responsible for their gear and proper storage. We suggest dropping a vehicle at Baker Ave Park so that the boater can load their boat and meet the biker and skier at the Base Lodge for security and transportation.

7th Annual Pond Skim

Saturday, April 7^th, 2012.

YOU MUST PREREGISTER IF YOU WANT TO COMPETE IN THE GREATEST END OF THE SEASON PARTY IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD!

DESCRIPTION:
The competition is open to all competitors 21yrs and older, and everyone is welcome to come watch this great winter Finale. The pond skimming celebrates the wacky feeling of spring and the end of another great ski season.

Participants must have skis or snowboards appropriately worn (normally mounted) as they attempt to cross an 80+ foot pond. Costumes are required and will be judged in a category by itself.

Skimming will be an individual competition based on longest skim ($1000 for first place, Great Prizes for second through 3rd place, and some other prizes). Participants will advance to the next round after each successful skim. Each subsequent round will be started lower down the slope, making it more difficult to cross the pond with less speed. We go till the last skimmer is a winner! This event always sells out for competitors, and we have had upwards of 2000 spectators. Come and end the season with the best end of season throw down around!!!
