The Salomon BBR Tour traveled to ski resorts all over the country, and the BBR party wagon stopped at Alta for the final destination. To celebrate, Salomon threw a vicious BBR Tour Finale Party filled with giveaways, contests, and of course, free demos of the new Salomon BBR ski. We were there for the shenanigans, so here’s how it all went down.
The main reason for the tour is to get people on a pair of Salomon BBR skis so they can see for themselves what the revolutionary new design can do. Skiers who clicked into a demo pair got to ski them on a gorgeous spring day at Alta, and everyone who skied the BBR was entered to win huge prizes, including a pair of BBR skis.
The snow was soft and the air was warm, making creamy conditions for BBR testing.
After a morning of spring skiing, the party officially started with a tug of war competition.
After the lopsided tug-of-war, snow-beach volleyball kept partiers occupied until the High Boy Challenge.
But before the High Boy Challenge, a drawing of BBR skiers had some people win big. Skiers who demoed a pair of BBRs were entered into a raffle. Some won t-shirts or hoodies, while others got big prizes like Salomon Quest 12 ski boots, an Alta seasons pass, and a pair of BBR skis.
But the guy who really won big had to earn it. The High Boy Challenge had 10 skiers bomb down High Rustler to the whoops and hollers of the party people below, who judged their skiing on fluidity, style, line choice and big air. The winner impressed all with his skiing miracle and dazzling costume. Turns out Jesus in a red cape won the Salomon Rocker 2 skis as the grand prize.
