2009 Closed Circuit Pipe Jam

Saturday, March 28, 2009

What's better than wrapping up the season with a spring time pipe jam? Thanks to Tyson's pipe building and cutting mastery, Sierra's Superpipe was primed for the jam and outfitted with a new bell jib and a pinata filled with cash. This wasn't your run-of-the-mill contest but more of a free for all. With an 09/10 Season Pass, snowboards from Option and DC, and prizes from Dragon, Nikita, Dakine, and a cash at stake, riders and skiers weren't just playing in the sun. Yeah, we checked out the best overall, but the big props went to those who rang the bell and busted big airs.

3rd Annual Buckle Up Big Air - A Tribute to Greg Smith

Saturday, March 21, 2009

The entire crew at Sierra-at-Tahoe Resort put their heads and hearts together in support of the 3rd Annual Buckle Up Big Air in memory of Greg Smith and spread awareness of seatbelt safety. With a $2,400 purse and tons of awesome product from sponsors and supports, skiers and riders came from all over the lake in an attempt to cash in on a piece of the prize.

The slopestyle course was perfect- large, showcase features for the big dogs and a flowing jib/jump line for the up-and-comers. The contest kicked off with all the competitors riding through the course in a train - a yearly tribute to a deeply missed friend and athlete. Once the judging began, the jams were smoking, even with an impending storm making the light flat and the speed slow.

The Sierra crew made some of the biggest impressions of the day. Young team members Geoff Smith and Maddie Bowman both took first in their divisions. At just 15, Geoff's sick style over the table tops was impressive. Stacie Anderson, riding her winning wave, showed the ladies how it's done on the big jumps. The action really heated up in the Open Divisions. Ty Dayberry won the big bucks in the Skiing division...on tele skis! Sierra regular Jordan Nield charged the course, as usual. Big thanks to all the volunteers, supporters, and competitors- all the registration fees, raffle sales, and food sales go towards building a custom rail feature in Greg's memory.

Three years of great support has allowed us to debut the feature next season!

Flaunt It presented by Billabong

Sunday, March 15, 2009

The Billabong ladies hit Sierra Resort with the 6th stop of their Flaunt It series. The all female amateur contest brought girls in from all over the globe- New Zealand, Norway, Colorado, Canada, even Hawaii. The conditions were sunny and warm, a perfect recipe for big spins in the morning on Upper Bashful during the slopestyle jam and jib pressing during the afternoon rail jam on Lower Bashful.

As usual, the Anderson ladies made their statement. Stacie won the slope jam with smooth spins on the jumps, Nora took home the best grom prize, and Jamie was there to support her sisters. Local ripper Becky Bruce won the rail jam.

Highlander...There Can Be Only One presented by Nitro and Von Zipper

Saturday, March 14, 2009

This was the first year that the Nitro and Von Zipper gang hosted this contest at Sierra. The theme was totally original: Highlander. Riders dueled one on one at the Gathering, err, I mean on the four feature setup in Broadway. The course was a mini-slope course, but smaller meant bigger on this day. With a full out tweak contest over the jump, endless 450's on the down box, gaps of all sorts on the up down rail, and endless handplants on the pipe stall, the action was exciting. Non of it topped Sierra team rider Jack Lyle's surprise gap OVER the sponsor tents. Whew, he's got that Highlander fierceness.
