Entry Info

At the first Mt. Baker Banked Slalom in 1985 there were a grand total of 19 finishers. The entry ranks have swelled a wee bit since then, to the point where we had to switch from a first-come, first-serve entry method to a more complicated system in the 2000’s. We’ve refined it over the years, trying to accommodate people from all aspects of snowboarding; amateurs, pro’s, sponsors, young, old, riders from around the world and the locals from our home mountain. On a normal year, we can run approximately 385 racers on the course each day (daylight and snow conditions are the main factors in this) and we have devised several different entry methods in the hopes that everyone who wants to race can get a chance to come ride in the Legendary Banked Slalom some day!
