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.

PICKY BARS ADDS NEW PERFOR-
MANCE OATMEAL TO THE LINE UP
Picky Bars, the Bend-based energy bar company founded by professional athletes, is
introducing a new product to bring an end to the days of bland, nutritionally lacking, and
complicated oatmeal, bringing an easy athlete-focused breakfast to the table. 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.
