The final stop of the DC Hit & Run at Whistler-Blackcomb, BC last weekend. The event combined the speed and turns of a traditional banked slalom with the trickery and skills of a slopestyle and pipe event. A rider’s ultimate goal was to get down the course as fast as they can while being judged on three freestyle features (40ft jump, rail section, and a mandatory 2 hit pipe run). The Whistler course was steep with deep smooth bowl turns that had the 80+ competitors more managing their speed than milking for speed. This event concluded the Winter 2016 three stop series and left everyone looking forward to next season.

The winners from each stop of the Burton Qualifiers tour converged on Seven Springs for the finals. With riders of all ages from across the country competing for a cash prize on a setup worth a thousand rail jams, the stage was set for a heavy showdown. In the end, Ryan Paul took the top spot, followed by Matt Shaffer and Benny Milam. In the 15 & under division, Dylan Okurowski took first place with Storm Rowe and Cooper Whittier in second and third.
