I figured someone would've posted pics of the race by now, so here's a few that I took. The race was a HUGE success for Beech Mtn Resort. So many people came despite the rainy crappy weather the first couple days. Saturday and Sunday turned out to be beautiful days and the rain held off till nighttime.



I spent Sat and Sun mostly drunk thanks to the Brew's N View's Beer Tasting and my purse full of flasks, so I didn't get too many pics, but here's the best ones I got!













The start

















Looking up at the Dual Slalom course





The band getting set up, not sure which band was first





Where my friends and I spent the majority of our time





Blurry pic but we kept those glasses full :)

















TONS of people watching the Dual Slalom





People watching from the trees lol









Best. Doughnuts. Ever.





Rock Garden. So gnarly!

I was there on Sat. Spent most of the day in the beer tent. Had to sample all of them. Hope Beech will continue to have events like this. My gf took some pics:
