In its sophomore year, the Red Bull Butter Cup came through Mountain Creek on Jan 30th. Riders in both the PRO and AM divisions were pretty stoked on the new jibs Red Bull cooked up. The features travel with the tour, but the Jib Lab topped off the course with a wooden hitching post and a slanted butter box. Check some photos from the event.

AM Winners:
1st - Genci Mirzo
2nd - Bryan Watson
3rd - John Coladanati

PRO Winners:

Red Bull Zered Basset

Who would've thought you could make an art gallery out of a spot reserved for chicken tenders and cheese fries? We worked with Red Bull & Zoo York to do just that.

Zered Basset and the Zoo York crew came through last Saturday night for his first photo show ever. Kids tore up the skate bowl all night next to some of Zoo York's pro skateboarders.

Check out the video from Zoo York. -Halley

K2 Pretty In Pink Recap

We had a good time at the K2 Pretty in Pink rail jam last night. More than just a rail jam, this contest was a part of Paint the Mountain Pink weekend - an effort to raise money for breast cancer research and awareness. Approximately 30 girls entered the comp and did their thing on the course featuring a hand rail, down box, flat bar and two familiar features from the 3rd Rail’s setup. Between the prelims and the finals, K2 reversed limbo’d everyone and set up a high ollie contest.

Here are your winners!

K2 Pretty In Pink Results:

Open:

1st Place - Kasandra Dolan
2nd Place – Tara Eminson
3rd Place – Danielle Lavery

16 & Under:
1st Place - Nina Orenstein

2nd Place – Lexi Sara
3rd Place – Madison Johnson

3rd Rail Recap

The 3rd Rail was beastly. Huge contest, on snow DJ, graffiti artists, emcee battle (congrats A. Class), tons of people, followed by the after party of the season featuring Slick Rick the Ruler.



Over 130 skiers and riders came out to compete on what could have been the best course Mountain Creek has ever had. Props to the Park Crew for the time, effort and attention to detail spent on the setup.



The level of riding was unmatched. Many said they've never seen a final with so many technical tricks landed. Congrats go out to our 3rd Rail winners:

Tara Eminson, Girls
Sean Neary, Juniors
Dhane Knakkergaard, Skiers
Tim Kempson, Best of Breed



Thanks to all that competed, watched, worked, sponsored or spent time with us on Saturday. Check out the Rapid Play from the 3rd Rail below and we'll see you next season for more of the same. -Halley

Precious Updates on 1.5.09

I caught up with Marc in the grooming cat yesterday. He broke down the upcoming builds on Bakersfield, Flying Fox and the Bear Base area. He also played some wicked air guitar to country music. Word in the cat is South and Bear will house close to 45 features by the weekend. -Halley
