6 NEWS| POWDR TO OPEN WOODWARD #6 IN PARK CITY After working closely with the greater community and Summit County for more than a year, POWDR secured final land use approval from the Snyderville Basin Planning Com- mission on Jan. 9, to build a Woodward Camp in Park City, Utah. This sixth Woodward location is an exciting development backed by years of prep and planning. The Woodward transformation will include lift serviced snowboarding and skiing, terrain and skate parks, biking trails, and an indoor training facility for a dozen plus sports, includ- ing skateboarding, BMX, mountain biking, cheer, snowboard and ski. To accommodate safe progression in all of these sports at the same time, the training facility will be roughly 52,000 square feet and built with a dedication to protecting the surrounding environment through green investments in solar, green roofs and bioswales. The Park City location is preceded by the flagship Camp Woodward in Woodward, Penn- sylvania; Woodward West in Tehachapi, California; Woodward Tahoe at Boreal Resort in California; Woodward Copper in Summit County, Colorado; and Woodward Riviera Maya, Mexico. Construction on Woodward Park City will begin in spring or summer 2018 with the goal to be open by summer 2019. 2019-2020 BOULDERING NATIONALS COME TO DESCHUTES COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS EXPO CENTER USA Climbing, governing body for sport climbing, announced that it has awarded the 2019 and 2020 USA Bouldering National Championship events to Deschutes County Fairgrounds Expo Center in Bend, OR.

Picky Oats Performance Oatmeal combines their athlete know-how with a chef’s palate, thanks to a partnership with Elyse Kopecky, New York Times Bestselling co-author of Run Fast, Eat Slow. Available in three foodie-approved flavors, Picky Oats are balanced to offer sustained energy that’s ready to power you through any workout or long work day, and are easy to prepare - just add hot water! Made with organic whole food ingredients like gluten- free rolled oats, chia seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and dried fruit, each 300+ calorie serving provides 10-11 grams of protein from natural sources, not a powder. Picky Oats are also lower in added sugar than conventional oatmeal options and are made up of 50% or more toppings, including antioxidant-rich matcha green tea, mineral-rich beetroot, and anti-inflammatory workhorses cinnamon and ginger. Every flavor is certified USDA Organic, Gluten Free, and vegan. Picky Oats are available in three flavors – Can’t Beet Chocolate, Game, Set, Matcha!, and How ‘Bout Dem Apples. The line is available across specialty outdoor, run and bike retail- ers, natural grocers, pickybars.com, and Amazon. CASCADE CYCLING CLASSIC GETS NEW MANAGEMENT AND DATES Bart Bowen is the new director of the Cascade Cycling Classic. Bart is the owner of Bowen Sports Performance in Bend and is considered to be one of the driving forces in the Bend cycling scene and beyond. Bowen had a stellar career in cycling and at age fifty can still hold his own on the road and in the cyclocross scene. Most everything about the race will be different this year and with the partnership with Visit Bend it’s in good hands. Bowen’s vision and experience should enhance the race for years to come. The new dates are May 31-June 3. This is just before the big tourist season kicks in, but will also create other scheduling conflicts for some races. With Bowen’s leadership and vision, the CCC should continue to be one of Bend’s top athletic events of the year.
