Sixteen of the world's best snowboarders, including Shaun White, Pat Moore and Travis Rice, will snowboard over a towering 90-foot tall, state-of-the-art structure. The athletes will drop in from the structure before flying off the specially constructed kicker toward an immense 80-foot long hip. The innovative hip, built by world-renowned designers Frank Wells and Mike Bettera of Snow Park Technology, allows riders multiple angles of trajectory—frontside or backside, landing on either the right or left side of the massive 45-degree spine. Additionally, the ramp design will allow spectators to get up close and personal, giving fans an opportunity to experience the action first hand as the riders spin roughly four stories into the sky.
