Mammoth Mountain opened at 8:30 AM yesterday with a bit of snow, freezing temps, lots of dirt and high wind. But none of that slowed the hard core. No. They were out and charging. Yobeat was there to document.
When you get back out on snow this season, remember: Snowboarding is not as easy as the pros make it look (most of the times). Thanks to Arthur Longo, Gigi Rüf and the entire Pirate Movie Production crew for the reminder.
With the serious cold snap hitting the West Coast of the US this weekend Southern California’s Mountain High has decided to turn on the snow guns and begin making snow on Friday, November 9, 2012. With the guns running full speed they hope to open by Sunday morning, November 11.
“We are excited to get this season underway,” says Mountain High CMO John McColly. “With more than $1 Million in improvements and the possibility of another El Nino, this is going to be a terrific winter.”
If the mountain is open on Veterans Day (Monday, November 12) the resort will stick to their “active military rides free on Veterans Day” promise. Follow the jump for all the details. [click to continue…]

The contest starts at 5:00 pm and will feature many of the best rail snowboarders in the world competing on a completely redesigned course built by leading snow park and half pipe designers, Snow Park Technologies. The all-new course design brings the rustic atmosphere of the mountains to the packed streets of Tokyo with features like a hitching-post jib log, a picnic table gap jump and a handrail to log bonk. Measuring nine meters tall and 31 meters long, the massive wooden course will be covered in over 90 cubic meters of snow brought to central Tokyo specifically for this event.
The entire event will be on the web live at Burton.com on November 17, 2012 beginning at 11:30 PM PST (8:30 AM in Europe). Follow the jump for the official details. [click to continue…]
Remember the hoopla when Nyjah Huston won the 2012 Street League Championshipback in August 2012? That thing about the truck not the trophy being backwards? Well, apparently representatives of Street League fixed all that and went to Laguna Beach, California and presented Nyjah with his 2012 Championships Nixon Watch, Ring, and a remodeled trophy. And it all looks right proper. Bling Bling.
Mammoth Mountain’s little sibling resort June Mountain (which is closed for the season) will be relaunched with a complete makeover for the 2013-14 season, according to a story on MammothTimes.com.
“We’re going to open it up,” he said during an interview. “We submitted our operating plan to the Forest Service and now we’re waiting for approval, and part of that operating plan is letting them know that we intend to open it as normal for the 2013-14 season.” . . It is in essence a re-launch of the ski area, which is owned by Mammoth Mountain. Gregory said Mammoth would take the year to more clearly hone June Mountain’s mission and to target its marketing base.
