Ski and Snowboard Cross
Athletes will shred downhill, negotiating a track that consists of jumps, rollers, and banked turns, while trying to fend off other competitors. Four competitors at a time take to the slopes with the top two advancing to the next heat. Whiteface Mountain and its high caliber slopes will throw everything it has at riders as they compete for $4,000 in total prize money.
