The Peace Park isn’t a competition, it’s about progressing the sport. You saw a taste of it in Burton Presents RESORT [SNOWBOARDING], now see the entire 22-minute edit of went down at Danny Davis’ Peace Park presented by Mountain Dew. Essentially, a deconstructed halfpipe, the Peace Park combines elements of a slopestyle course, a halfpipe, hips, and a big air jump. Wallrides, pole jams, and rails only added to the available possibilities, combined with a group mentality of pushing the limits of snowboarding, the Peace Park was all time. With a crew of riders including Mark McMorris, Jack Mitrani, Ben Ferguson, Roope Tonteri, Peetu Piiroinen, Christian Haller, Alek Oestreng, Gabe Ferguson, and Marko Grilc, this year’s Peace Park is one for the books.

The #WeAreFrameless Tour is all about looking forward while paying respect to the past.
There are few events in snowboarding that bring together our community for all the right reasons. The Dirksen Derby raises funds for Tyler Eklund, a talented rider that was paralyzed in a life changing snowboard incident, and it does it through the simple concept of making turns.

Mt. Bachelor is a snowboarder’s dream land. Chock full of natural terrain reminiscent of Oregon’s world renowned skate parks. Their actual terrain park is perfectly manicured and unmatched in creativity. The freestyle arena already harbors over 40 features and is more reflective of a mid-winter set up. The fact that they have accomplished all of this before the new year is inspiring to say the least. Throw a little pow in the mix and we have a formula for some quality boarding.
Featuring riding from Spencer Lundin, Kael Hill, Jeremy Melanson, David Kinskofer and Wiley Tesseo.
