Beech Mountain Resort hosted a Slopestyle competition this past Sunday, Feb. 7 as part of the High Country Junior Freestyle Series.  It was a gorgeous day on the mountain!

The event was held in the Beech Mountain Terrain Park where athletes skied or snowboarded down an obstacle course which included rails and jumps. Each athlete was allowed 3 runs. A team of judges, staged at various points throughout the course, evaluated them on height of jumps, degree of trick difficulty, execution and personal style.

25 athletes registered for the event representing Appalachian Ski Mountain and Beech Mountain. See the results below:
