March 1 marks the 10th anniversary of the Doug E. Fresh Banked Slalom Boarding competition sponsored by the Ski Shack and Silver. Honoring the life of the late Doug Johnson, an avid skier and biker, all proceeds from the race will benefit the Doug Johnson Memorial Fund, a non-profit that helps youth involved in mountain culture. Racers can expect a fast-paced and intense slalom course set in the terrain park, which they’ll get to attempt twice, with the fastest time being counted. Prizes for multiple categories are up for grabs and Grand Teton Brewing will be sponsoring drink specials at the finish line. Silver Mountain’s Gus Colburn expects around 150 participants this year. Following the race (which includes entertainment from a live DJ, as well as food and drink specials at a snow bar), party-goers can head up to Moguls for the Ski Bum Prom Night to celebrate the last evening of night skiing. With live music from Jamshack until 8 p.m. and awesome raffle prizes, this is one prom you won’t regret attending.
