VIDEO: Winter Park, CO Holds Annual ‘High Noon Duel’ | Watch the Craziness of Synchronized Snowboard Madness

As the season draws to a close, The High Noon Duel has become a traditional annual event at Winter Park, CO advertised as ‘synchronized snowboard madness’.

This yearโ€™s event didn’t disappoint and once again featured teams of two and four battling it out on a course filled with banked turns, handrails, horse statues, the ‘decapitation station’ and the Duelโ€™s signature hula hoop. While synchronization was the goal, 2018โ€™s High Noon Duel definitely fell heavily on the side of crazy.

As is typical for April in Colorado, the weather didn’t co-operate, so after a few inches of thick snow had fallen on top of a rock-solid base the outcome was a course that was firm, unforgiving and ready to show little mercy on the boarders brave (or crazy) enough to tackle it.
