Mount Sima had its annual Simapalooza over the weekend.
Simapalooza featured concerts as well as many snowboard and ski competitions.
On the final day Sunday, the day started off with the Big Air competition which began with four competitors and ended with six. Included in this competition was freestyle skier Etienne Geoffroy-Gagnon, who had been competing with the national team in world cup events
The day moved to Knuckle Huck. Instead of using the jump for big air the athletes in the Knuckle Huck use the landing to do tricks off of.
After the Champion of the Hill was named, for skiing or snowboarding down the hill the quickest with a full glass of water, the day ended with the Slush Cup.
Participants in the Slush Cup skied or snowboarded down the bunny hill towards a pool of water. Their goal was to have enough speed to make it to the other side.
The following are just a few pictures from the final day of Simapalooza.
Enjoy.
