Slope Style Competitors converged on Mt. Bachelor for the USASA “Central Oregon Enter the Dragon Series” first and second freestyle events.  Both events were held on Sunday, January 23^rd, 2011.  High Cascade is one of the main regional sponsors.

The day was sunny, the course was perfect for all ages and abilities, and the competition was as hot as a big bottle of Cholula Hot Sauce.
