Pic Update!

Here's some pics from yesterday that I took with my good buddies Parker and Eric. These guys are two of my favorite kids to shred with! Always super positive and giving out tons of high fives, they ride canyons at least 5 days a week so next time you see them give them a shout.

Parker "naughty dog" out of the up box, stomps it every time...

Eric Big Gap to 50/50 on the new Down Flat Down

Eric Cab 270 gap over the whole rainbow to the down!

Parker backside 270 gap over the rainbow to the down!

All in all a super fun day, gonna try and get a sequence of these two gapping over the rainbow box on the next sunny day. Lift lines weren't too bad, see you all new years eve at the Rockin Rail jam. Starts at 4pm in the forum by the concert stage.

World Snowboard Day

We held a random jam to celebrate World snowboard day. A random jam is a super fun mini session where we hook riders up with free product for throwing down sweet tricks. We figured there is no a better way to celebrate snowboarding than hooking dudes for learning new tricks. We started the session off with some basic tricks and it progressed from there. For this being our first random jam of the season, I have to say riders are stepping it up. There were several shredders trying tricks they have never heard of and sticking it second or third try. Killing it!

I want to thank our friends at Pow Gloves. They gave us awesome prizes to stoke out shredders.  Check it out. These guys won high 5 gloves, a Pow sweat shirt and the warmest winter Pow gloves ever. Thanks Pow for spreading the love and keeping us warm.  

Keep shredding hard and look out for the next Random Jam.

Pic Update: Full Park Painted Horse 12/20/08

All we were waiting for was a go from the big dogs. Thursday night we got that call and Steve and I headed up to meet Jonny and Andy and give you a full park on the painted horse run. Steve and I had it easy we were out at 2am. Our cat drivers got off the hill at 5am. Big props to the rest of the crew who came in and leveled everything early Friday morning.
Without us knowing, Friday night Andy and Jonny added another high flat box and a C to down box. We had mentioned it but didn't think it'd be easy to work it in with the limited snow pack. In my opinion the C to down rivals the gong on the fun factor. Big ups to Andy and Jonny for going above and beyond. That's what happens when the guys grooming the park actually ride the park everyday. They're just as excited to hit new features as the rest of us!

Check the pics and give us some feedback.

Update: New Features

Alright y'all. Here's the latest update on our park situation. Snow is lacking but we're doing our best to keep it fresh. Although the base isn't half of what we'd like we're still going to try and get even more features up for you weekend warriors. Soon as we get some more lifts open the snow making is back in the park and we'll have some jumps built. As for now check the pics if you wanna scope the current set up. We're going to do our best to update this blog within a day of setting up any new features so everyone will know what to expect. Sound good?

I heard rumors of some natural stuff that's pretty fun to jump off, Jerry kickin it old school:

Opening Day!

We're up and rolling! 4 features can be found at the bottom of what will become our progression park. A flat box into a C box followed by a LEGIT city style down rail and one of our signature picnic tables can all be found at the canyons as we speak. Check the pics! Space is limited so bare with us until mother nature decides to cooperate. Soon as we can get some more runs open more features will be set in. Big thanks to Lou and the boys on the snowmaking staff for their continued efforts. So come on by and hand out some high 5's!

P.S. Andy Marston is back in the cat, our head park groomer with over 6 years of park grooming experience.
