[Tahoe City, Calif.] February 18, 2012 – Alpine Meadows will host the 2nd annual Beaver Bowl Banzai tour stop, Feb. 23 and 24, as part of the Rahlves Banzai Tour. This event, considered the world’s premier big mountain freeskiing meets skier/boardercross event, is a top-to-bottom race on challenging, natural terrain and snow conditions where skiers and riders go head-to-head, four at a time. The course has been relocated to Wolverine Bowl from Beaver Bowl. The course will start at the top of Wolverine Bowl at Round Rock, south of Idiot’s Delight, continue down through Wolverine Bowl, take a splash into the Waterfall before heading out onto the Face, then to Kangaroo Ridge, in and out of Kangaroo Gully a few times before finishing on the Summit run-out around tower three under the Summit chair.
