RED BULL SNOW WARZ TO DESCEND ON MAMMOTH MOUNTAIN
February 17, 2009 – 12:07 am PT by MikeTags: Barbizon, College, Mammoth Mountain, Red Bull, Snow Warz —
If you have never lived the college experience, I suggest you do. It’s the first experience of many young peoples’ lives as an independent adult. No parents, no curfew, no rules (Hey, I should turn that into a t-shirt and sell it to BAD BOY CLUB). But there must be much precaution taken while in college. Just like a loose pit bull after hours of lockdown, a bright-eyed college student could be just as worse; and that includes the rabies. And possibly herpes, V.D., and jock itch.
Well the college students of all over this vast land have something to start prepping for.
On March 14 some of the country’s most gnarliest boarders will come together for one of the most anticipated events of the year. Expect some red faces because the things will be burning up on March 14th for sure. College teams from throughout the country will once again battle it out at Red Bull Snow Warz to determine the most skilled school on snow.
Teams consisting of 4-6 college student skiers and snowboarders will face off at Mammoth Mountain on a progressive slope style course in a unique jam-session format. Both team and individual awards will be given and riders will be judged on style, magnitude and overall difficulty of tricks. Top pro riders and industry leaders will judge the event, so teams had better bring their A game, as bragging rights and a soon-to-be announced grand prize are on the line.
This is the fourth year of Red Bull Snow Warz, and the first time the event has been held at scenic Mammoth Mountain. In 2008, 48 teams from more than 30 schools went to war at Northstar-at-Tahoe™ Resort, with a total of 233 students competing. The University of Nevada-Reno completely dominated the event, taking home top honors as two teams from the school battled it out for first and second place. The winning team took home a prize package of snow gear from Capita Snowboards and received an all-expense paid trip to a Red Bull event of their choice. This year the school is looking to repeat their victory and once again own the snow.
My money is either on the BARBIZON School Of Modeling, MLDS College or The University of COLORADO.
