Ski Comp Today

Pat — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 19:47:22 +0000

What’s up everyone?! As you all should know by now, there’s going to be a ski comp in a matter of hours. It’s said to start at 1: oo p.m., with practice beginning at noon. If you’ve been by The Scene, you already know it’s going to be a sick contest. There’s some crazy looking features that you wouldn’t expect to see at Bear. From a snowboarder’s perspective, we call them “skier features”. As hard as it is to say, skiers go bigger then snowboarders, so they need bigger features. We give a lot of attention to the new wave of snowboarders, but we still love our skiers. It’s definitely going to be a fun event to watch; it’s always fun to check out something new. We haven’t hosted a ski comp in a while, but we’re stoked to be apart of the sport!

First 100 people get a FREE Volcom/Bear Mtn t-shirt, so get there early! Last but not least, KCXX is going to be bringing up Smile Empty Soul to rock out on the ever-so-famous Bear deck. We’re going to be jamming out and watching some crazy skiing, all in our fresh, new Volcom shirts. It’s going to be a lot fun, hurry up…we’ll be waiting for you!

Making Of The Ad: Chris Bradshaw

Brad — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 23:59:21 +0000

Focusing in on the “20 Years Of Park Development” marketing concept this year, we set out to create a print ad campaign that would showcase four of our pro team riders and highlight four main themes: innovation, creativity, style and history. For the forth and final ad in this series and the one representing history, we chose a sunset shot of Chris Bradshaw taken during the filming of Big Bear Mountain Resort’s 20th anniversary documentary, Parkumentary. Snow Summit’s Tex Hip was rebuilt for the first time in seven years and he nailed a method on it during this special team shoot. In this ad, Bradshaw adds his image to a museum filled with important pieces of Bear Mountain and Snow Summit’s illustrious past that represents 20 years of building some of the best terrain parks in the business. To see these ads in all of their glory, pick up copies of Transworld Snowboarding Magazine and/or Snowboarder Magazine.

Ladies Burton Team

Pat — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 23:11:46 +0000

As you all know, Bear is one hot commodity. People from all over the world come to shred our internationally renowned Terrain Park. We even have friends that have traveled all the way from Sweden and Norway, just to spend their season in the So Cal sun. Southern California is the mecca of the action sports industry, and Bear Mountain is not only known for inventing the modern terrain park, but also being the must stop for the industry’s biggest gear and apparel companies.

This week we have the Burton girls team. Although they are here to mellow out and have a good time, there is going to be a special photo shoot including a pretty sick feature built especially for them. Girls snowboarding has really stepped it up, so I’m pretty excited to see how this goes down!

Lovin’ the Fridays

Pat — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 22:27:08 +0000

Everyone have a good time today?! I told you the park was sick, huh? The top jump on 9 is so good now; and did you see the triple line on Lower Park Run? One table, followed by two cheese wedges; see, your Facebook requests do work! Your voice has been heard!! I can’t even believe how hard our park staff is at work. I’m at the mountain every single day, and everyday there’s something different. Thanks park staff; we love you!!! Let them know you love them too by taking our park survey!

Tomorrow, Bear is going to be hosting the Office Boys competition. This is a contest for all the old, industry dudes that still think they can shred. It’s invite only, but is definitely going to be a fun one to watch. Come time travel with us back to 90’s and check out the old school!

Gotta Love Bear!

Pat — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 23:04:17 +0000

I hope everyone had some fun in the sun today! It sure feels good after a couple days of grey bird. How’d you like the jump on the top of Chair 9? Pretty fun huh? Everyone seems to be really stoked on it. Stay tuned for more new features and switch-ups!

I hope everyone has started to think about the Scene contest. We still have a little while before it’s over, so really put some thought into it. We’ve already been getting submissions on our Facebook page and there’s some pretty cool designs; check them out, maybe you can steal a few ideas. It’s not everyday you get to design your own lil’ park, so we expect everyone to take full advantage of the contest. This is going to be a lot of fun!!

Bear Love

It’s a good long season so far! We almost have 4 months of riding under our belt, and it’s not even March yet. This is going to be a season for the history books. We have record snow accumulations, and a park that doesn’t stay the same for more than a couple weeks which is my favorite part about of this resort. The set-up changes so much that it’s like you get to ride a new resort every week. There’s nothing worse that hitting the same rails and boxes, week after week, month after month. No need to worry though, you’ll never know what that’s like as long as you ride Bear. We love our park staff and everything they do for our mountain. Of all the love they give us, I know there’s a few of you out there that think you could one-up the crew. Well, sooner than later, some lucky shredder will have the chance to design the scene! We’ll divulge details in a few days so stay tuned.

Women’s Olympic Boardercross Tonight!!

Pat — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 22:27:54 +0000

The women’s boardercross finals will be underway in just a few minutes. It is scheduled to start at 2:40 p.m., but won’t air until tonight at 8:00 p.m on NBC. We’re cheering for Lindsey Jacobellis, the American favorite. She had an unfortunate fall at the end of the race in the last Olympics. The fall cost her the gold, and now she is out for redemption. Seth Wescott of the U.S.A was able to take the gold for the men last night; let’s see if Lindsey can follow in his foot steps and make two for the U.S.A.

My favorite event, the Men’s halfpipe will be airing tomorrow at 7:00 p.m. You know Shaun White is going for broke when it comes to throwing everything on the line… tune in to see if he captures Olympic Gold the second time in a row.
