Sunday, March 16 at 12noon at Aspen Highlands Fallen Friends Memorial Event

 Every ski season lives are lost in a variety of ways in the Rocky Mountains. Fallen Friends memorializes the brothers and sisters who have paid the ultimate price and did so pursuing the life they loved in the Rocky Mountains.

 

 Each Spring the Fallen Friends event brings the skiers and snowboarders together to remember the good times...and to honor the lives of our Fallen Friends. This one-day event is held in Aspen Highlands each year, and teams of 2-6 compete in an obstacle type course of jumps, bumps and park features. All the proceeds from the event will benefit the AVSC scholarship fund in honor of our “fallen friends” over the past few years.

Sunday, March 23rd Helly Hansen Battle in the Bowls at Aspen Highlands
The Helly Hansen Battle in the Bowls is back for another Spring Jam! Teams of two race to ski/ride the many bowls of Aspen Highlands as quickly and strategically as possible on a course designed by Aspen/Snowmass athlete Chris Davenport.

Helly Hansen Divisions defined by them as:

• Competitive Ski: You're ready to battle your own limits and also challenge yourself against other teams of two skiers in an effort to cover the course as quickly as possible... maybe even faster than everyone else. If you are a team of 1 snowboarder and 1 skier you must register in the Ski category
• Competitive Snowboard: You're ready to battle your own limits and also challenge yourself against other teams of two snowboarders in an effort to cover the course as quickly as possible... maybe even faster than everyone else.
• Recreational: The Bowls of Aspen Highlands are a challenge in themselves! You're out to challenge yourself and have a good time while doing it.

The courses for each division will be different, but the Recreational course will feature elements of the Competitive courses. Each participant will be loaned a GPS device to strap to your leg or stuff in your backpack and track your routes. Hiking the Highlands Bowl is a must and the course is meant to be finished in less than 4.5 hours. The final course will be presented at check-in.
