Headwaters Spring Runoff returns for 10th season

BIG SKY – Big Sky Resort will host the 10th annual Headwaters Spring Runoff freeride competition with juniors competing on Sunday, March 15. The adult portion of the event was cancelled due to low registration numbers.
Juniors will use Saturday as an inspection day, and the competition is open to both alpine and telemark skiers, and snowboarders.
The Headwaters Cirque is known for having some of the steepest in-bounds terrain in the country, and sets the stage for this freeride event. The junior division event is sanctioned by the International Freeskiers and Snowboarders Association and athletes can earn points toward their IFSA standings.
“The Headwaters terrain is such a unique freeskiing venue,” said Dave Benes, Big Sky Resort Ski Patrol Assistant Director. “The steeps alone catch your eye with angles upwards of 55 degrees. The variety of tight, technical lines and wide-open amphitheater allow for multiple line combinations and tons of creativity.”
In years past, the competition has seen hundreds of athletes exploring every line down the Headwaters Cirque in the northern terrain of Lone Mountain. The sold-out junior event is open to 70 competitors offering athletes opportunities to put their skills to the test and chances to win great prizes.
Junior divisions include boys aged 12-14 and 15-18 years old, and girls aged 12-14 and 15-18. The event will combine skiers and snowboarders unless a large number of snowboarders register.
Spectators are encouraged to attend the event, and Stillwater Bowl provides the best viewing of the competition. Exact competition venues will be determined the week of the event.
Prizes will be awarded to first, second and third place finishers in each division category.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
$170.
