The 9- to 15-year-olds will be in the middle of the action, as well, thanks to the junior Spin, which includes a Skiercross and Boardercross (March 26 and 27), plus a "Big Air" competition, not to mention a rails competition to be held right at sundown (the "Sunset Rail Contest") on Sunday, March 27...all in the South Side Nintendo Park.
People who attended the « Urban Jib » in 2003 won't want to miss this second edition of an event that will once again bring together the best skiers and boarders in the American East. This exciting contest, which will be held on the rue des Remparts right in the centre of Tremblant's resort village, is the only one of its kind and produces an unbeatable show, jam-packed with all kinds of jumps and spins. Plan to be there on Wednesday, March 31, from 8 p.m.
And finally, the two events of the Spin Symposium that draw the biggest crowds, the Volkswagen Skiercross and the Boardercross, will be held April 2 to 4. The overall winner of Skiercross, presented by Atomic in collaboration with Columbia, may leave Tremblant at the wheel of a superb Golf GTI 2004!
Tremblant's exceptionally good snow conditions - a sure thing thanks to lots of snowfall plus a technologically leading-edge snowmaking system - will allow the season to extend till the end of April. The Spin Symposium will be the perfect time to take advantage of it all while the warm sun, soft snow and great events are front and centre at Tremblant.
