Winners in eight categories will claim sponsor prizes. A raffle, open to all, will take place during the awards presentation in Gunstock’s Historic Lodge following the competition. All snowboarders are welcome, and two runs are allowed per entry. Proceeds benefit Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC) is a 501(c) 3 non-profit foundation founded in 1996.
