3rd Place @ Wrangle the Chute, Golden BC

It was off to Kicking Horse Resort this weekend for Red Bull’s “Wrangle The Chute” contest. The competition is a combined score of a big mountain line, into a gap jump, finished off with a ride on the bucking bronco (a barrel with a saddle and four bungees that the other competitors crank on to throw you off). I placed third. The idea was original and the relaxed atmosphere and good skiing conditions made the contest really stand out. I’ll definitely be back next year. Thanks to everyone that made it happen!

I took advantage of the good light and was able to get a few hikes in between inspection and the comp runs. Kicking Horse has some great terrain that’s easily accessible from the Stairway to Heaven chair.
