Snowboarder Mag Superpass
Excerpt from Pat Bridges, Snowboarder Magazine:
As much as we’d like to describe the first stop of the 2011 Superpass Superpark Qualifying Series as being a heated competition the seemingly sub arctic temps prohibit us from making any references that would lead readers to believe the conditions were the least bit hospitable. Wind would add to the contentious atmosphere and cause attrition to take place pre registration. Nonetheless dozens of New Jerseys finest jumpers arrived bright and early at Mountain Creek to partake in their chance at a Superpark invite as well as the heaps of prizes provided by Volcom, Capita, Electric, High Cascade Snowboard Camp and Bag Jump.
The terrain park staff at Mountain Creek went beyond the requisite triple line requirements which was requested to 25, 35, and 45 feet respectively. Rather than settle Mountain Creek stepped up and provided the Superpassers with a textbook 25 foot booter, complete with squared sides to a classic 35 foot step down gap. This gap was rad. Normal tricks looked three times as high and the perceived consequence afforded by the vertical cut uphill edge of the knuckle added drama to every attempt.
By showing skill, composure and creativity on each feature Brett Stewart set himself apart from the pack. This fall Brett Stewart will be joining snowboarding’s elite at Superpark.

Frendly Feature Winner
It came down to 3 finalists chosen by Frends and secret ninjas at Creek. Our legion of 20,000+ Facebook fans voted, trash talked, voted some more... and trash talked even more than that. After the dust settled, Matt Nametko’s creative trapezoid ledge hybrid butterbox feature was named the winner and will debut on the slopes this season. Congrats, Matt. And thanks to everyone else you submitted an entry. Can't wait to shred the new feature.

Frends... It's time to pick a winner.
Creek and Frends sifted through all the entries from the awesome to the absurd to narrow it down to 3 Finalists.
Finalist 1: Tom Buchtman, "Kink Butter box, Kink Creeper, High Kink box, Down Creeper with Stairs"
Finalist 2: Lauran Barinsky, "My Frends House"
Finalist 3: Matt Nametko, "battleship box, pyramid bank, and butter boxes"
We thought in the spirit of community and in keeping this a contest for the riders, by the riders, we’d open the final voting up to our Mountain Creek fans on Facebook.
