Alpine Shop, Burton, and Hidden Valley are proud to bring a brand new event to the slopes for 2019, the Inaugural King of the Mountain competition, on Saturday, February 2!

To celebrate, Burton has purchased 30 ski passes to Hidden Valley to give to customers who come into Alpine Shop's Kirkwood store and answer the following question: "What was the name of the first snowboard built by Burton?" Just go up to the front cashier and let them know you're there for a free pass and give them the correct answer. As long as we've got passes left, you're good to go! FREE PASS!

(One pass per customer, per correct answer, please!)

We will be handing out these tickets until they are gone. On Saturday, February 2 will be on location for the competition where we'll be giving away over $500 in Burton prizes.

Modeled on the Freeride World Tour, King of the Mountain will combine technical skiing and freestyle creativity to determine the best on the mountain. The course will be on Continental Divide and competitors will be judged on five categories and given 2 runs on the course.

The event is free but helmets and waivers are mandatory.

Registration will start at 11 AM in the Lodge and the event will run from 2PM to 4PM, with awards immediately following the conclusion at the Lodge. We will be crowning a King of Mountain skier and snowboarder as well as a Queen of the Mountain.
