RED BULL RECHARGED CATALYZES TERRAIN PARK PROGRESSION IN MAMMOTH

Legendary builder Frank Wells and world-renowned Red Bull athlete Ben Ferguson team up to create one of the most innovative terrain parks to date.

Competitive snowboarding has reached a tipping point. It needs a refresh, especially in the world of slopestyle snowboarding. Rail, rail, rail, jump, jump, jump and so on and so forth. As spectacular as the riding that goes down on prototypical courses is these days, they fail to provide the riders with the main ingredient to freestyle snowboarding: Creativity.
