Monster Energy Comes to the Mountain

Mar 3, 2017 | 11:00 AM

An event combining action, energy, and music is coming to Silver Star Mountain.

Monster Energy will be bringing Monster Boarderstyle to the  resort March 10th and 11th.

Four riders at a time compete in a head-to-head boardercross-style race integrated with big slopestyle terrain features.

“Expect a unique course for each stop consisting of jibs, jumps, berms, rollers, pond-skims, spines, step-ups, DJ’s, high energy and great times,” says a news release.

The one-of-a-kind snowboard contest will also make stops at Fernie Alpine Resort, and Whistler Blackcomb for the finals in the Bethlehem of Boarderstyle.

The snowboard-only event consists of a Men’s and Women’s Open category. Every stop of the Monster Energy Boarderstyle Tour is free to enter and open to all competent riding abilities. On top of cash prizing, the winners of the SilverStar and Fernie events will receive invites (including transportation and accommodation) to compete in the final event at Whistler Blackcomb.

Watching the chaos or competing in it is only half the fun. Monster Energy won’t just show up, they’ll be bringing the party. Each Boarderstyle stop guarantees a legendary after party. Monster DJ’s, DJ Illo and Juice will be DJing at The Red Antler on the night of the 11th in a silent disco style event.
