Colorado State Championships - Sol Vista

Mountain States Cup round #6 took place at Sol Vista Resort this past weekend with Colorado State Championships named in DH,DS,XC,SD and SS. This was a sick event with the first ever event to be run under the cover of night. Sol Vista resorts & MSC pulled all the stops to throw a mean Dual Slalom event the went off under the lights. The event naturally lent itself to a bit of a party & we made sure we hammered it home by bringing our local favorite band Interstate Stash Express. The mustache competition & the band really catapulted the energy of the evening into intergalactic territory. Speaking of Intergalactic territory here are some shots of the unofficial Intergalactic Pump Track Championships that were also held over the weekend.
