The Cali Pass Banked Slalom Pro/Am Tour presented by 805 kicked off Saturday, February 8, 2025, at Mountain High, CA. This was the first stop in the biggest Banked Slalom tour on the West Coast, with more than $40,000 in cash & prizes on the line.
Under blue skies, competitors raced before a sold-out crowd. This was Mountain High's biggest event of the season. The course was fast at the top and technical at the bottom making for a fun yet challenging event.
Competitors from far and wide showed up for the chance to stand on top of the podium and claim their ticket to the Championships at Dodge Ridge on March 22nd.
Each competitor received two runs, with the winner being the fastest combined times. However, individual times were still important to determine 686's Fastest Racer of the day and recipient of $500.
In the Pro Women's Division, Jenise Spiteri was the fastest rider of the day with her technical turns and clean lines. Ava Harteau took first in Womens Open followed by her sister, Lea Harteau, who won Youth Girls.
In the Men's Division, Waylon Martin captured the W for Youth Boys, Eamon Rubira won Mens Open, and it was a heated battle for top three in the Pro Men's class. In the end, Sawyer Reivich stood on top of the podium with his first victory on the Cali Pass Tour and punching his ticket to the Championships.
John McColly, Vice President of Sales & Marketing For The California Mountain Resort Co., said, "The Cali Pass Banked Slalom has become one of our biggest events of the year and it's only getting bigger. We hope to see you all on the slopes this year."
The next event moves to China Peak Saturday, March 1st, 2025, followed by Bear Valley on March 8th. The top 5 competitors in each division continue on to the championships at Dodge Ridge Saturday, March 22nd to share in the $40,000 prize pool.
