Snowdown will be coming to Durango a little early this year, holding their first event of the season: The Hair Olympics! The official Snowdown 2010 Beard Contest kicks off at Carver Brewing Co. this Friday November 6, at 7 p.m. And for the first time ever, the body hair bonanza will be open to women!

Those interested in winning this prestigious award should show up clean-shaven. Since both men and women are invited to participate in the event, women can enter a different variety of beard, their leg hair. During Friday’s kick-off, Beard Contest organizers will take participant’s pictures and award each brave hair farmer a voucher for a free beer.

The contestants will then go their separate ways and stimulate their follicles for 90 days. On Jan. 28, 2010, they will return to Carvers, luxuriant beards and furry legs intact, for the final judging. Other facial-hair categories will also be judged in January. Details are fuzzy, but the contests could include a celebrity look-alike contest and “something fitting the Snowdown theme.”
