Sleds are built from cardboard, tape, glue and string. Racing begins at 10:30a(ish). Everything you need to know is shared below.

How did the event get started? Back in 2006, Preston & Steve Show host, Preston Elliot, had an idea: invite listeners to build sleds using only 4 materials and race them down a snow tubing hill. It took a bit of convincing, but the bosses officially added the Cardboard Classic to 93.3 WMMR’s Day Off on the Slopes, a station tradition since the mid-80’s. We did not know what to expect those first years, but the creativity of the sled builders blew us away! 

The 4 materials are simple: cardboard, tape, glue and string, but the creations are anything but basic. From 2person bobsleds to 30-person tiki bars; just when we think we’ve seen it all, the listeners find a new way to surprise us.  

Sleds race down the specialty groomed ski slope at Montage Mountain competing for prizes based on categories like design, theme, and speed. It's free to register a team to compete, all sleds must be registered ahead of time.  

Preston & Steve’s Cardboard Classic is completely free to attend! It's free for spectators and there are no tickets required to come out and watch the sled racing on the mountain. It’s also an all-ages event, everyone is welcome to attend!

Cardboard Classic is the official kickoff of the weekend of Mountainfest festivities at Montage Mountain. There are concerts, and fireworks and more crazy events which do require a ticket. Single day and weekend lift tickets are also available.  Visit MontageMountainResorts.com to purchase.
