April 20, 2013

When the Monster Energy Shred Show rolls into town promising free energy drinks and 50,000 bucks, a gauarnteed who’s who of dirt-bagging couch-surfing Pabst-drinking snowboarders line-up to cash in. Add a 65+ foot big air jump to the mix, a notorious hip-hop crew, and an ominious date like April 20th and the table is set for a night of Whistler proportions.

The Shred Show, in it’s third year in Whistler and second as a TTR 5-star event, closed out the World Ski & Snowboard Festival with a big air jump in Skiers Plaza and showcased the current flip-spin-win formula of snowboarding trickery.

The SS of the TWSSF

April 5, 2012

The TELUS World Ski and Snowboard Festival is not only stellar for free music concerts, awesome arts events and raging parties, but, surprisingly enough, world-class Skiing and Snowboarding!

The delicious and dynamic Monster Energy crew is back on board as sponsors of the snowboarding component, named The Shred Show, from April 13-17. A newly named 5 star event on the TTR World Snowboard Tour, The Shred Show features the who’s who of snowboarding, and four events that will leave you breathless. Hand in hand with Skiing and Snowboarding are the after-parties, so I’ve listed the pick of the bunch for you to satiate your thirst after slaying the mountain (as a competitor or spectator, both as worthy as the other).

April 14 | Big Hip (invitational): 7pm
April 15 | Borderstyle: 10am – 3pm
April 16 | Slopestyle (invitational): 10am – 3pm
April 17 | Mogul Duel: 12pm – 3pm Read more
