BBS is a women’s-only snowboard banked slalom race located in the Grizzly Gulch/Michigan City area of Little Cottonwood Canyon.

BBS is usually held in the month of May, depending on snowpack and weather. We aim to host the event on a weekend day and use the previous week to dig and ride the course. We also try to schedule the event on a day that does not coincide with a resort’s closing weekend. When all the stars align, we announce the date a couple of weeks in advance and hope for sunny, sick weather.

BBS is located in Little Cottonwood Canyon, about a mile up from the upper Alta parking lot, in an area known as Michigan City. Driving up LCC, you’ll pass the Snowpine Lodge on your right. On the opposite side of the road, there is parking and a private slope that leads to a few homes—this is where the trail starts. This link will take you to the map.

BBS is FREE to enter and ALL ages are welcome!

There are three categories: Fastest Woman, Fastest Mom–Daughter Team, and Best Bikini. The event is run in a jam format, meaning you can take as many runs as you want. For example, you can show up, take one run, and leave—or hang out all day and take as many runs as your little heart desires. The fastest time wins.

Totally cool! We encourage bikinis, but you can wear whatever you want. We’re all here to have a good time in the sun and slash some slushy berms. Wear what makes you feel good.

The Best Bikini award is voted on by all the riders. You don’t have to wear a bikini to win.

YES! This is a backcountry event. Even though it takes place in the spring, avalanche danger can still exist. Please plan accordingly and bring proper safety gear, along with food, water, and extra clothing. Plan to pack in and pack out, and leave the area as you found it.

Dudes are more then welcome to come ride the course but the race is for the Ladies
