Rahlves’ Banzai Tour sets 2014 dates
The 2014 Rahlves’ Banzai Tour will stop at four Lake Tahoe resorts this winter.
From Feb. 8 through March 16 the tour will be at Kirkwood Mountain Resort, Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, and finishing with the finals and super final at Sugar Bowl Resort.
“There is no other race like this in the world,” Daron Rahlves, former World Champion, X-Games Champ, four-time Olympian, Sugar Bowl Resort ambassador, and tour founder said in a statement. “What’s so unique about the Banzai is that everyday rippers line up against pro-level athletes to find out what they’re made of, battle for Rahlves’ Banzai titles, and an $80,000 purse. When the gate drops, it’s on as four competitors go head-to-head in a top to bottom race over natural terrain.”
Last year’s champs Johnny Bochenek, Shannon Rahlves, Casey Lucas, and Kyle Coxon will have tough competition in defending their titles. From everyday rippers representing their home resorts, to skiers/boarders of all levels coming out for a fun and competitive experience, to competitors making a name for themselves on other tours in racing, ski cross and big mountain—all will converge for the high-speed action at each 2014 RBT stop.
The dates are:
Kirkwood Mountain — Feb. 8-9
Squaw Valley — Feb. 15-16
Alpine Meadows — March 8-9
Sugar Bowl — March 15-19.
