DC Snowboarding is proud to announce its new global event series, “Hit & Run”. This unique event ranges from California’s highest summit, Mammoth Mountain, to DC Snowboarding’s Area 43 in Meribel, France, and concludes at world-renowned Whistler Blackcomb resort in British Columbia, Canada. DC Snowboarding’s global “Hit & Run” event merges the speed and turns of a banked slalom with the jibs and jumps of a slopestyle event and is designed to test a snowboarder’s all-around riding skills.

“DC’s ‘Hit & Run’ will be the best event of the season creating an epic, one-of-a-kind experience for snowboarders around the world. The contest will blend the speed and technical riding of a banked slalom and challenge snowboarder’s to not only hit smooth turns, but also present their best bag of tricks – no pressure,” said DC Snowboarding Global Marketing Director, Bobby Meeks.

A rider’s goal is to slay the course as fast as possible, while pulling out their top tricks. The better the trick, the more time is deducted from a rider’s run. Freestyle features will be judged on a 1-5 scale, the collective score will be added up, converted to seconds and deducted from a rider’s overall run time. Riders will compete for two types of awards, the Hit & Run Award will go to the top four fastest overall times and the Best Trick Award goes to the person who throws down the finest trick of the event.
