This is the second year for the Palmer Snowboards BoarderX series at ALMR, featuring amateur riders from Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Boardercross is a multiple start event patterned after motorcross. Six riders go head to head through an obstacle course of jumps, bumps, drops, banks, and table tops. The first person across the finish line wins. Boardercross is an all mountain competition which promises aggressive high paced racing, not to mention an amazing crash or two.
Spectators love boardercross, making it the most televised snowboarding event worldwide.
Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort operates in cooperation with the US Forest Service under a special use permit containing 2,046 acres of federal land. The resort began creating their proposal for development in the summer of 1998. The Master Develop Plan is a carefully crafted proposal to upgrade facilities and infrastructure in hopes of correcting deficiencies at the Anthony Lakes. The proposed projects were developed to fit within the management direction and, standards and guidelines of the Forest Plan. According to ski industry standards Anthony Lakes has a trail network which is under utilized, inadequate access to beginner and intermediate terrain, and lacks the infrastructure to accommodate increased skier visits.
