This past weekend, Kicking Horse Mountain Resort welcomed riders from near and far for the 7th Annual Marc-André Memorial Banked Slalom, a snowboard-only event that blends competition with community. The event celebrates the spirit, style, and camaraderie of snowboarding while honouring the memory of local rider Marc-André, who passed away in 2019.
Made possible through the dedication of local businesses Darkside and Sideways Strategies, the event continues to be a meaningful fixture in KHMR’s winter calendar. This year, 112 snowboarders took to the course, carving their way through the banked turns in a show of skill, speed, and respect.
