Big Sky Resort will host the Montana Slopestyle Championship, a festival-style skiing and snowboarding competition held the weekend of March 25 in the Swifty and Swifty 2.0 terrain parks. This year the event will kick off with a rail jam in the Swifty 2.0 park the evening of Friday, March 24 and the Slopestyle Championship event will follow on Saturday.
This is the fourth year Big Sky has hosted a Smokin’ Aces event, and event director Billy Marcial expects more than 70 competitors to turn out. “The terrain park crew at Big Sky does an outstanding job and we are excited to kick off our event with a rail jam Friday,” Marcial said.
Last winter Schweitzer Mountain Resort, Whitefish Mountain Resort and Big Sky Resort hosted the 2016 Smokin’ Aces Tour, a three-stop freestyle competition series. This winter the events have been narrowed down to two state championship events, one at Big Sky Resort and another at Schweitzer Mountain Resort in Idaho.
Marcial said the switch to a festival-style event helps increase sponsor interest and allows more skiers and snowboarders to compete. “The first year we started there were very few competitions in the region so it made sense to spread the events over the winter. Now there are more sanctioned events being organized, which is a great sign of the growth in the sport, so it makes sense for us to have a one-stop state championship style event.”
The Montana Championship is open to all athletes, with no license or membership fees.“These events are open to all skiers and snowboarders and spectators are welcome,” Marcial said, adding that Smokin’ Aces events are among the most well attended freestyle competitions in the region.
Preregistration for the event is available online and competitors can register the day of the event in the Mammoth Room of Mountain Mall from 8:30-11:30 a.m. Training will take place Saturday morning with the event scheduled to begin at 12 p.m.
The rail jam will include three divisions in both skiing and snowboarding: amateurs, open and women. Registration for the Rail Jam takes place at the bottom of Swifty 2.0 terrain park on Friday from 3:30-4:30 p.m.

Feeling worn out from the winter? Feeling bloated, low energy or foggy in the mind? Maybe it’s just time to have a reset and boost your immune system!
It’s that time of year again, to refresh, renew and revitalize!
The community cleanse utilizes the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda in order to help detoxify the body and reboot the digestive system, plus going through the process with a community of others makes it all that much easier to get through it successfully. It is not a time of starvation or deprivation, we eat 3 (or 4) meals each day and take specific herbs to assist the process of releasing toxins. It is designed to be a two-week cleanse, but it can be customized to the length of time that you are able to commit to and dates can be flexible if need be. You are also welcome to do it from a distance if you won’t be in Big Sky this spring!
What it includes: digestive herbal supplement and body oil (specific to your needs), 4 cleansing and rejuvenating herbal formulas, 7 days of the Ayurvedic cleansing food, a booklet of information on the step-by-step process and some recipes, weekly meetings and daily email support through the process.

Join us on May 10 – 12 to pick up pet waste and seasonal trash to keep our rivers and trails clean.
During spring runoff, pet waste left behind by a long winter has the potential of making its way into our local streams and eventually into the Gallatin River if not picked up and properly disposed. Join the Gallatin River Task Force and our community partners the Big Sky Community Organization (BSCO) and the Big Sky Sustainability Network Organization (SNO) for a community clean up to keep pollution out of the river.
With pet waste representing the fifth-largest source of water-quality degraded pollution across the upper Gallatin River, we need your help! Join us in an effort to keep these harmful pollutants from reaching the Gallatin. Get a group of friends together and sign up to participate.
We will be at the Big Sky Community Park for supply pick up from 9am-5pm, and then you/your team can choose from some of BSCO’s beautiful trails to help clean.
