Today is the first day of spring and the sun is shinning. I know that most people don’t think about snowboarding when it starts to warm up outside but Mammoth is the ultimate place for spring shredding. All of our parks are open and fully packed with jibs, jumps, and pipes. The Super pipe is being rebuilt right now to gear up for the Roxy Chicken Jam that Mammoth is hosting next weekend. The event starts on Thursday the 26th and continues on through out the weekend with girls Super pipe, girls Slopestyle, and the “Cluck off” which is a mascot half pipe competition. Saturday night there is also going to be a free concert in the village. Santigold and the Cold War Kids are performing.

Today is a little crowded at chair six. Southpark is closed due to a major rebuild. We are getting all set up for Red Bull Snow Warz. This is a college event in which schools from all over the west coast come out to compete in a slopestyle competition. Please come out and cheer on these college kids tomorrow, who knows, maybe some will impress you. Also Red Bull is hosting a free party after the award ceremony tomorrow night at Canyon Lodge. There is going to be a Dj so after shredding the hill all day you can cut up the dance floor. Enjoy today Friday the 13th……

As one rides up chair 6 looking out over Main Park one will notice that spring has sprung and with March has come jumping madness. It looks as though instead of flowers, jumps have sprouted up everywhere. Superpipe is currently being rebuilt in preparation for the Roxy Chicken Jam March 26-28th. South Park is stocked with a slew of snake runs hidden in the woods, so get your Lewis & Clark on and go try to find ‘em! Make sure you come find them quickly because come Saturday Southpark is going to be taken over by Red Bull and college kids gone wild. Mammoth is hosting the 5th annual Red Bull Snow Warz, this Saturday March 14th. 

Our USASA half pipe contest on Saturday was suppose to be held at June Mountain, but due to technical difficulties the half pipe is not ready. Mammoth now will be hosting the event in our 22′ Super Duper Pipe. Sunday will be our last comp of the year, and will be a BoarderX. Both days the events start at 11am. The sun is supposed to be shining so we are looking forward to a very successful weekend.

I am very excited to announce the launching of Play Big Productions. Liz DesRochers has been working very hard to build us a site that is absolutely amazing. It has bios on all of our team athletes, all the teasers that have been put out so far for “Hot Laps” the Mammoth Movie and a live blog. Please check it out and tell me what you think.

This weekend was slopestyle frenzy. The Unbound crew put on three slopestyle events within two days. Thanks so much to the Unbound crew for all of your hard work the past couple days. Thanks to all the competitors that came out and endured the long days on Saturday and the high winds on Sunday. June also needs a shout out for hosting Sunday’s event. Mountain

It was great to see all the competitors giving it their all. There were great tricks being thrown down both days. Trevor Jacob cleanly swept up all three victories over the weekend for the Open Class men and his brother Jordan did the same for the Junior men. Brock Crouch, one of my personnel favorite competitors, also showed how to lay down three winning runs. He had a bit of trouble with the winds yesterday because he is so small but was victories just the same.

Next weekend will be our last weekend of USASA events. The Half pipe is scheduled to be held at June and right now there is a 50 50 chance of that happening. I will keep you posted though. Sunday is our third and final boardercross competition and than it is off to the Nationals in Copper for all of you Top ranked competitors. Mountain

It is snowing again here in Mammoth. Laying down a heavy layer of snow to get things set up for spring shredding. I hope everyone is enjoying their Monday so far and go check out http://www.playbigproductions.com/
