Dick's Ditch 2025

Feb 28 - March 2, 2025

Dick’s Ditch is a thrilling two-day banked slalom race that winds through a mix of man-made and natural terrain, starting below Nez Perce and flowing through the iconic upper Dick’s Ditch to the finish. This year’s course stays true to the event’s unique character while embracing the essence of classic banked slalom culture. Friday is an optional inspection day, followed by Saturday’s qualifying run, where the top 70% in each category advance to Sunday’s finals. Pro divisions compete for cash prizes: $1,000 for first place, $500 for second, and $250 for third.
