RedBull Buttercup Recap

This weekend put the RedBull Buttercup 2012 to rest.  The Arena was packed with spectators looking to see some wood and p-tex flexed beyond comprehension.  The advent of reverse camber snowboards has certainly raised the bar for this jam.  Competitors are no longer allowed to simply lean in the direction of what used to be defined as a press.  We're calling for serious base graphic recognition in each photo these days.

 This photo was the exception to the rule.  Matt noseblunting from flat isn't a butter, but it's so nice it doesn't even require a color photograph.   This is why he took home the gold.

Girls Week At Mountain Creek

This week is book ended with two great jams for girls only.  Tonight we have our standing Girls Only Shred Sessions at South.  Great way to come on out and rip around the mountain and try some new tricks.  Last week had an unprecedented number of girls show up, so tonight should only get bigger.  
We're also proud to announce the K2 Pretty In Pink Rail Jam.  This time the girls and guys at K2 outdid themselves.  There will be a K2 product demo on snow followed by a rail jam.  All the girls can come out and try the new women's stuff (including 2013 gear!) K2 offers and then follow it up with a friendly competition. There will be specials in Kink on Magic Hat afterwards, so we've got you covered both on and off snow.  If that's not enough, Pretty in Pink is a Boarding for Breast Cancer Event so come show your support for a great cause!

Pat Moore Interview

Pat Moore a great dude.  He holds it down huge contests, he represents the East Coast, and has been putting out quality footage since the days of the Grenade/Soldiers of the Frozen Battlefield videos.  His sponsor list is as impressive as his riding: Forum, Foursquare, Red Bull, Electric, Volcom, Eastern Boarder, Crab Grab, and Ass Industries.  His X Games Real Street part this year had some of the most insane spots involving close out rails, roofs, massive quantities of snow, etc.  He's a humble dude who's backed by the right people and is clearly out there progressing snowboarding because he loves it.  Our resort reporter Maria had a chance to ask him some questions while he was hanging around Union Square, fulfilling his sponsorship requirements to remain relevant in New York nightlife without falling off.  We don't care what anyone says, the hardest task about being a professional snowboarder is retaining nightlife relevance.

Original Skateboards Crew Lapping South

In the off season, take a nice drive around scenic Sussex County.  You'll probably notice there are an awful lot of hills 'round these parts,  many of which are suitable for the fine sport of downhill skateboarding.  The crew over at Original have been perfecting their many sizes and shapes of skateboards and longboards in order to dial in that perfect asphalt decent.  It just so happens that when the temperatures drop, the Original staff like to strap on the old knuckle dragger snow surfer or two planks and do a little cross training.  


Mountain Creek is proud to be the home mountain for the Original Skateboards team and employees.  United in our shared love of sliding sideways down mountains.

RedBull ButterCup Coming Satudray









If you've driven/ridden by the Arena lately, you'll notice the RedBull Buttercup butter boxes are in place.  Not only is this contest focused on fun, its course is super user friendly.  With the advent of reverse camber technology, this contest has every reason to be going off!  Press your pickle, jibstick, flatkick, v-rockered science project through the RedBull lexan.  Get out there and have some fun, NXTZ, Oakley, Neff, Nike, Forum, RedBull didn't come all this way for nothing.  JibLab put it together on this super-collaboration, so don't let them down.  It's also going to be beautiful out tomorrow, like spring beautiful, so get some wild thrift store gear (Hawaiian shirts, jumpsuits, dresses, "Number One Boss" tees) and throw down.
