Jack Jump World Championships
March 4
Grab your Jack Jump and compete in a Dual Slalom on Charlie’s Chase. What is a Jack Jump? It is a seat on a ski!
Lift Mechanics used to use it back in the early days of ski resorts when they needed to carry all their equipment. Basically take an old ski and make a seat and attach it to the ski. Sit on it and there is your JJ. Practice though, as this is not for beginners and our Mountain Operations team is pretty good. Prizes and party following the race.

You bring the Jack Jump, we supply the fun!
Registration – 9-11am in the Main Base Lodge by Bag Check
