    No plans this weekend? Get your competition on at Timberline Lodge this Sunday. For simply the cost of a lift ticket and a $5 entry fee (no entry fee if you are a Fusion Pass Holder!) you can compete in a one of a kind ‘J-Turn’ course. What is the ‘J-Turn’ you ask? One by one competitors charge down the hill with two gates at the bottom. When you reach the bottom, you make a hard carve up hill through the gates, attempting to travel the furthest distance up hill, and hey, you get two runs to work it out!

    It will be fun, lighthearted and the perfect opportunity to ease yourself into the competition scene. So give the Fusion Series a try, take some pictures and share you experience with us. Oh! An added bonus, the winners take home some sweet prizes, so what are you waiting for?
