Snowboarding began with a turn. It’s the fundamental act that distinguishes a good snowboarder from a great one, and there is no proving ground more iconic than the Legendary Mt. Baker Banked Slalom. Last year’s low tide conditions in the Pacific Northwest resulted in a postponement of the event’s 30th year, but this season there is little doubt that the berms will be high, the course long, and the pow deep for the riders waiting anxiously for their run. Fast Forward: 30 Years of the Legendary Banked Slalom celebrates three decades of turning in a race won by legends like Craig Kelly, Terje Haakonsen, Shaun Palmer, Temple Cummins, and more.
