The Largest DIY Snowboarding Event Of The Year?

The 8th annual #RallyForRocker backcountry banked slalom went down earlier this month and now the highlight reel is out. An event honoring a fallen friend (Steve “Rocker” Anderson), the banked slalom is not only a way for the local Tahoe snow community to gather and enjoy one another’s company up at Donner Summit, but to raise funds for Anderson’s dream skatepark. With over 500 riders pitching in and riding the course earlier this month, the hand dug contest is one of the biggest DIY events of the year! Enjoy the video above, and check out some photos from the one and only Andrew Miller below.
