Visitors will not be disappointed in the showing that is on the 9th of September. Competitors truly will have their skills put to the test on the unique level of terrain that is provided to them.

For the visitors, there will be many events and incentives, which will include autographs from the competitors, free merchandise giveaways and tickets to three different movie premiers. In addition to the snowboarding contest, the Big Bear resort will host a charity snowboarding event for breast cancer awareness. This event will raise funds through visitor events.
