Park City Closing Day "Shades N' Shorts" from WhatCoast on Vimeo.

In light of last year’s spring GoPro edit with Sage and friends, we decided to do the EXACT same thing. But, alas, they are professionals and we are mere Go-Bros holding a funny looking stick. We had a great day as you can see, but we weren’t responsible enough to charge said GoPro and all you are watching is the first few runs of closing day 2011. Anyway, enjoy.

Riders in order of appearance: Austin Norlin, Drew Brighton, Sage Kotsenburg, Griffin Siebert, Sam Taxwood, Evan Drage, Corey Kembitzky, Tristan Sadler, Cody Lee And 1/3 apparently didn’t get the ‘shorts and shades’ memo.

The final run of the season through Three Kings Terrain Park. If you were a part of this, you know how epic it was.

Cobra Dogs is the spot for Closing Day

You knew we would have something up our sleeve for Closing Day and as usual, you're right. You guys are always right.

This year Cobra Dogs is going to be the place to be for our Parks and Pipe crowd.  Cobra Dogs promises a hot dog jib to session in front of Cobra Dogs. What's a hot dog jib? I have no clue.  I guess we will all be surprised come Sunday! Plus there will be tunes all day long.

So if you still have some heckling to get out of your system and need that final Cheddaconda fix of the season, bring a lawn chair, some sunblock and get ready for the Cobra Dog jib extravaganza super shred fest for Closing Day 2011.

Costumes, gaper gear and short shorts are recommended. Let's end the 2010-2011 Winter Season with a bang!

Snowboarder Magazine's The Launch Day 2

Snowboarder Magazine's The Launch Day 1

If you've been riding at Park City this week, then you have seen snowboarders flying high in King's Crown Terrain Park. In fact, they're going so big, you've probably seen them from town. Snowboarder Magazine has brought the world's best under-age shredders (18 and under) to throw down on some massive features built by Jeremy Cooper and his talented terrain park crew for The Launch. 

Hans Mindnich, p. Rob Mathis

The Launch isn't a contest, it's a chance for the next generation of riders to step it up and put their name on the map. We have a slew of photographers and videographers from every major snowboard company waiting to see what these kids are going to throw down and make sure the world gets to see it. It's an honor for a rider to be invited and these kids never disappoint. They are here because they are the next big thing and they are hungry for progression.

Stefan Krumm, p. Rob Mathis

I could describe the course for you, or you could listen to what Snowboarder Magazine's T Bird has to say about it. "A slew of rail features lead into a massive step up, which direct the underage riders toward a treacherous channel gap. Following the first two jumps immediately are an 80 foot step down equipped with a monstrous wedge. Then there’s the hip, in direct view of chairlifters, and it funnels into a 22-foot quarterpipe. It’s perfection personified in modern-day park building." - T. Bird

The 6th Annual Queens Cup Recap

Queens Cup 2011 Highlights from Bennett Duchin on Vimeo.

In its 6th year, The Queens Cup Open was the ultimate battle royal between shredder ladies. This year's competition welcomed bigger spins, harder technical rail trickery, smiles and high fives from all participants.

The weekend started off with the Pro Throw Down, where snowboarder Steph Sue Feld and skier Veronica Kelly were named the Queens of Jibbing in their respected disciplines. With 30 competitors Steph and Veronica earned their titles and were rewarded with $500 each.

Veronica nailed tricks like blind and front switch ups over the rail- gap- box feature, 450s out of the front box and fast plant 270s on the down box. Steph did a front flip off of the flat box, surprising the crowd and getting a huge reaction from both judges and onlookers.

On Saturday, the stakes were set high again and skier girls competed against each other to be named the Queen of Slopestyle. Under bluebird skies, it was New Mexico's Nadia Gonzales who earned the title and won herself $500 as well as a pair of Moment skis. Nadia threw tip top rail tricks into a switch 540, right 360 and left 720 to earn her title.

In second place was 17 year old,  Park City local Taylor Lundquist. Taylor scored a perfect score in the rail section by throwing rail tricks like a 270 on, switch up, 270 out of the up- down box and also received Boom Botix's biggest boom of the day award.  Whistler's Emma Whitman came in third by throwing smooth grabbed 360s and cork 720s in addition to smooth rail tricks.

In Queens Cup fashion, product was awarded to the team that performed best overall. This year it was Erica Durtschi's team of Moo Eakin, Maggie Vosin, Taylor Lundquist and Alana English.

Overall the Queens Cup is about commradery and progression in women's skiing. Waking up Sunday morning to a reported 6 inches (which skied more like a foot) of fresh powder, the girls decided to forgo the halfpipe competition in leu of skiing pow. While we would have been stoked to see what these girls were ready to throw down in the Eagle Superpipe, it was impressive to see these girls charging Park City's agressive terrain by hiking Jupiter Peak, going off cliffs and down steep chutes.
