Appalachian Snowboard Club and Beech Mountain Academy Freestyle Team competed in the last High Country Junior Freestyle Series competition of the 2016-17 winter season on Sunday. For the first time ever, the season ended in a points tie.
More than 30 youngsters competed in the event: nine from Beech Mountain and 21 from Appalachian Ski Mtn. Even though the weather was unseasonably warm on Sunday, the conditions were fantastic at the Blowing Rock ski resort thanks to the efforts of the snowmakers and groomers. The park crew set up an array of jumps, boxes and rails for all ability levels to showoff their skills.
