A star studded ski competition is returning to Blue Mountain resort this year.
Canadian Olympic gold medallist Ashleigh McIvor and teammate Chris Delbosco — who is a three time World Cup winner — will headline the 2011 Rockstar Grand Prix World Cup Ski Cross on February 10th and 11th.
Ski cross combines freestyle skiing with alpine racing.
The course includes artificial and natural rollers, jumps and banked turns.
Blue Mountain’s Director of Marketing Paul Pinchbeck says they are looking to build on the thousands of spectators that attended last years event.
He tells Bayshore Broadcasting News they’re excited to make the event more of a festival, and involve surrounding communities.
And Pinchbeck tells us even though some of the excitement last year was due to the Vancouver Olympics, they are looking to build on the three thousand people who attended last year.
