RedBull Butter Cup at Snow Park Niagara - Snowboarding Forum

Suburban Blend · 07-05-2009, 11:42 AM

Date:Thursday, July 9, 2009
Location: Snow Park Niagara
427 First Street
Niagara Falls, NY
Time: 6:00pm - 10:00pm (I'm sure the after party will be off the hook)

The first of its kind in the region, Snow Park Niagara Falls. 50 of the top East Coast Regional riders will go head-to-head in a jam formatted event, carving and spreading the snow like butter for $5,000 in cash and prizes. Overall style and creativity will help the cream rise to the top. Only tricks that include buttering will count for judging, so be ready to spread it on in this purely pasteurized competition!

Snow Park Niagara Falls is a premier outdoor winter sports park located in downtown Niagara Falls. The Park consists of a tubing hill, snow play area and a NHL regulation size synthetic skating rink. Check out Snowmagic.com and Snowflex.com for details on how snow will be made this summer. Snow Park Niagara Falls has the ability to produce snow in all weather, making fresh snow everyday! The skating rink has a unique synthetic ice skating surface allowing blades to glide as smooth as if they were on ice. It is a true skate-like-ice surface allowing outdoor skating in all temperatures.

Yeah I got the literature from some Red Bull chicks at the Def Leppard concert last week. I'm def going to this. I've been hearing the commercials on the radio for this place but w/o boarding it really doesn't interest me. I'm going to this though, it sounds mad cool!

Yea, we want the crowd to be overwhelming, as a huge turnout will show the facility Owners that snowboarding is no joke. The hope would be that they put in a slope for riders to use full time and not just for events.
