In addition to watching world-class snowboarding, visitors attended the Burton Mountain Festival, which offered riders a full day of on-snow activities, including free Burton 2014 product demos, music, and a traveling Riglet park designed for the smallest snowboarders. In the Sponsor Village, spectators also took photos at MINI\u2019s Photo Booth and played the Spin to Win game for a chance to win a Burton snowboard, played games by Paul Mitchell, and enjoyed samples from Mountain Dew, Bear Naked and Chipotle. And on Saturday, February 1st, the \u2018Party in Your Park\u2019 finals, a park and rail contest, took place in the all-new Industrial Parkway at Seven Springs. The competition showcased some progressive urban riding with Benjamin Milan taking first place, a cash prize and an invite to the Burton Rail Days in Tokyo, Japan later this year.<\/p>\n
