High Cascade at Mountain Creek, February 2013 High Cascade at Mountain Creek, February 2013

High Cascade Snowboard Camp of Mount Hood, Oregon, came to Mountain Creek, in Vernon, NJ for 2 weekends in late winter 2013. Coaches and snowboarders, kids and adults upped their game in the dedicated private snowboard terrain park at South Peak. Jumps, boxes and rails as well as flatland tricks like the tripod and butters were the curriculum and everyone progressed, to their delight.

In this video we follow the 3 adult snowboard campers, Mark Scofield, Ralph Rosado, and Mark Bellncula, with their coach (and Burton rep) "Matty B" Bothfeld.
Adults were offered separate entertainment from the kids, including BBQ dinner at the Kink, after-camp get-together at Schuss in the Red Tail Lodge and access to the breathtaking Spa at Minerals Resort.

Finger slide air vents, plush lining, hairstyle micro-adjuster,and removable ear pads for warmth and protection are some of the modern new features.

Riglet Park Snowboard Lessons for Kids at Mount Snow - February 2013Riglet Park Snowboard Lessons for Kids at Mount Snow - February 2013

Riglet Park is Burton's new concept for teaching snowboarding to kids ages three to six. What's a "Riglet?" you may ask. It's a retractable reel that attaches to specially designed boards so that the rider can be pulled by the teacher. The boards are short, soft, and convex with raised edges and the idea is to start young kids off having fun from the first day, and learning snowboard basic skills in a tiny terrain park with a mini-pipe, sunken box, and limbo bar, at Moujnt Snow

Mount Snow Riglet Park Director Brennan Cofiell (who also has a law degree!) gives us a tour of the new Burton Riglet Park snowboard teaching area in February, 2013, and then we watch some Riglets in action.
