Participants were not always successful in their attempt to avoid collisions, however. The second obstacle in the event, a huge trailer mounted wall-ride box, arrived late due to some mechanical problems with the truck that was hauling it. However, once it arrived things really got going. Booths from several of the event sponsors were set up at the bottom of the hill where spectators and riders alike could go check out the abundance of goodies that were on display by local retailers such as Milosport, DP Sports, Skullcandy, Revolution and the UVSC studentowned Savai Snowboards. The late arrival of the wall-ride obstacle delayed the start of the competition but extended the warmup session, so spectators were never bored by a lull in the action. The contest officially began a little after 1 p.m. with skiers and amateur riders in the first heat. The second heat was for the female riders who included Jeannie Chadwick who had donned her favorite gorilla suit to represent the entire hominid family. The third and final heat was for the advanced riders. In the end, Tyson Cox won first place in the skier division, Jessica Barber won first place in the female division and the winner of amateur division was Chandler Hanson. In the advanced division, Javan Padilla won first place and Scott Otterson won second. PRESEHT You only pay a $1 move in!
