At Blue Mountain, we will be hosting ‘Rolling Awards” for Amateur/ Expert DH and aged-grouped enduro classes.
This means you can pick up your medals and any prizing immediately after the results have been posted and the 15 minute “Protest Period” have passed. We will have the podium and backdrops set up for podium pictures. We will host a quick awards ceremony after both events have ended for all Pro Racers, the Kask Showdown, the Koo Speed Zone, the FTD Stage and the Fox Climbers Challenge.
We plan on following the same procedures for the balance of the Kask Showdowns, the Kask Showdown days are long and we know you all want to get home as soon as you can.
