The excitement and nerves are two main feelings that have breathed this past weekend at the ski resort of Baqueira Beret . Given the success of the first edition of Salomon Quest Challenge last snow season, no wonder that this year has been repeated with even better results.
Wait, do not you know that we are talking about? We start with this.
The Salomon Quest Challenge is a competition for teams of three people held in various resorts mainly aimed for advanced skiers. There are two distinct categories to attend the event *:
Challenge: To participate in this category the team members must be over 14 years (required one of them is of age). Participate with friends and have a totally different snow day.
Family: This category is especially designed for a day in the snow with the family as one of the members must be between 8 to 14 years and another to be of age.
If you are thinking sign, you can do by going on the same day the Village installed on the ski to register on the spot, or if you prefer to have everything ready before you arrive, sign on their website .
* There are also categories of juveniles, children and youth but must be presented as "Club".
You will find several tests distributed by the ski resort. A giant slalom (down a track along a path of flags) a banked slalom (the same but in a more narrow and uneven track), an skicross (a tour of speed that has curbas, potholes and occasional jump ) and finally a freeride space (freestyle).
They will doing competitions throughout the day and timing the half-relegation until a winner in each discipline will be who wins the tournament. What sounds good? ;-P
Now we all know what it is and what this competition, we can talk about how it went this weekend in Baqueira Beret.
