Ktown Showdown and End of Season Awards


Will Stellar on the right, 3rd Place

The 4th and Final Ktown Showdown went off today at Bear in the Outer Limits Rail Park. 2 different lines in the park seperated Skiers and riders, then they switched sides and did it again. The features were man sized, almost all urban set up and tall! The KWSC/KMS Snowboard Team was represented by Peter Cimmino and Sean Grondin in the Open Men Division, Maggie Leon in the Open Women's Divison and Alex Sheppard, Harrison Pelletz, Joey Leon, Ryan Sihler, Cameron Slenker and Will Stellar in the Grom Division.

Peter was nailing some stylie nose slides and Grondin was sick on the tailslides! Maggie killed it with some sweet fs 50/50 180 offs. Harrison and Alex were cleaning the down-flat-down rail and Joey frontsided the down rail! A great day, but in the end, only Will Stellar landed on the podium, third place for the Groms!!! The competition was fierce!

The KWSC Snowboard Team end of season awards also went down today and the coaches want everyone to know how proud we are of ALL the riders. It's been a long season, and everyone worked hard to dial new tricks and race just a second faster.
