Announcement: 285 Barrel Stave DownHill!!!
The First Ever Barrel Stave Downhill - Skiing on Hwy 285!!! Saturday February 23, 2013 9:00AM - 3:00PM
(Barrel Staves - the wooden planks that are used to make Wine Barrels)
Try it Free! Sign Up below to Ski Free or Enter the Competition!!! 9:00AM - 3PM at Meyer Ranch Park Open Space on South Hwy 285 in Conifer! (Competition limited to first 100 paid/donation entries)
The event will allow “would be” and avid skiers alike to test their skills in an unconventional and fun skiing event. The legend goes that prior to modern day skis, European villagers would disassemble old wine barrels and use the “Staves” as skis, affix an open toe type of footing on each, and tie a short rope from one ski to the other for steering; creating the Wine Barrel “Stave” Skis. Legend also tells of times the villages would hold Barrel Stave Downhill contests and festivals to enjoy the winter days on the slopes with their friends and families enjoying the day with craft vendors and entertainment in the Village. Kids Activities (Pie/Cookie Eating Contests), food and drinks will be available. Kids under 12 Ski Free! (Village Location TBA).
The 285 Optimists are recreating this event in the foothills communities of Jefferson County, Colorado in a place where the people of the US Highway 285 locales often meet for winter fun on the natural Open Space. The event will be open to the public with no required admission fee to try to ski (spectators welcome there will be fun and food activities for all). Donations, entry fees and other suggested contributions from the event will benefit the Youth Programs of the 285 Optimist Club, and local schools... more on Optimist International at [url=http://www.Optimist.org" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;]http://www.Optimist.org[/url]

Here's one of our members, Marcel Flukiger, demonstrating how it's done (we promise the dismounts aren't supposed to go like this!)
