Salomon Team Sneak Peak

As many of you know, Salomon was here today to ride the new park in Bakersfield.

Features were ridden, footage was clocked, and East pow was slashed. Nick Dakota was out there to capture the onslaught of freestyle annihilation, as well as proud HVX connoisseur, Tanner Pendleton. Both of whom will be dropping edits for their respective production outlets, which will be posted here once they're finished. So check back.

If you don't like reading, here's two photos to prove that filming happened.

Notables:

Jed Anderson can go sideways on anything in his path.

Cole St. Martin has that chilled out New Hampshire style that everyone wants.

Chris Carr charges obstacles with phenomenal facial hair.

Very Special Thanks to Ski Barn and their hardworking crew, everyone at Salomon, and everyone who rides a snowboard in New Jersey.

Check back for video dropping soon.

We all wait in the same lift line.

Bakersfield Got That Makeover

Morning, everyone. Some beautiful new additions were installed last night for our Ski Barn/Salomon Team Vacation session today. You're going to be seeing a lot more progressive builds like this as park crew moves jibs from the rail yard to the hill. We also have one of the hardest working and most creative grooming departments going, so we won't be slacking on snow features either. They just had to wait for the snow to accumulate. Salomon is here today and 3rd Rail is this weekend, so if you see a Jib Lab, Park Crew, or Grooming employee, give 'em a shout out, because they're putting it down super hard for everyone.

Salomon's Team Vacation To Visit Thursday

Anyone who has been following professional snowboarding in the last five years is aware that Salomon Snowboards has one of the best teams going. That team, consisting of Jed Anderson, Chris Grenier, Scotty Arnold, Harrison Gordon, Chris Carr, and Cole St. Martin and possible surprise guests, will be lapping South on Thursday, so get out here and watch them throw down some of the smoothest technical rail and jump annihilation New Jersey will ever fall victim to.

They’ll be signing autographs on snow as well so you can have permanent proof that you came out.

See you on Thursday.

JibLab Update

We're super excited for the start of the season and all the awesome events scheduled to take place at the park this year, including the return of the TransWorld Snowboarding TransAm. The crew at JibLab has been busy designing event setups and will introduce a new feature at each event.

In the meantime, we caught up with Jon to see what's good in the land of rails and boxes. Not too much needed to be said, as sparks were flying, paint was drying and rails and boxes were making their way into the beds of pickup trucks and moving to South.

Grinding burrs.

Welding angles.

Stacking features.

Bringing back the Red Bull wall ride and all your favorite features.

Check back throughout the season for the latest event updates, photos and videos.

Early Season Street Session

^Say that 10x fast.

South Lodge manager and in-house photographer Homer Horowitz took to the streets with some of the Creek locals to reap the benefits of Mother Nature’s early gift.

We hope the early snowfall is an indicator of amazing riding weather to come this season. Forecasters are calling for another La Nina weather pattern, which could bring epic snowfalls to the Northeast. We can't wait. This year is going to rock!
