Spring Board Meeting April 8-9
Sponsored by: Oakley, K2 Skis, Burton, Marker, and many more.

There is a little different setup this year; Boyne Highlands will host the event on Saturday, then the show heads to Boyne Mountain for Superpipe Sunday. Price is still TBD, but will be right around what it has been ($15 1-day, $25 both days, lift ticket included). There will be product giveaways throughout both days.

The comp is free with your pass:
$350 to best trick in the pipe (seperate boarder and skier classes)
$150 to biggest air out of pipe (seperate skier and boarder classes)

The park crew is still working on a layout, but from what I have heard, they have pretty big plans and plenty of snow given the cold weather.

No, there will be an entire park built at the mountain, the comps are what are in the superpipe.
You should go on Saturday for sure, because if you don't buy a two-day ticket then, you have to pay full price ($30) for a lift ticket Sunday.

It looks like both days will now be at the Highlands since the snow is getting so thin at the Mountain.

Instead of the pipe contest there will now be a big air comp for skiers and another for boarders with a $500 on the line for each.

Both days will run from 9-4. I don't have any pics, but here is about a 60-70 ft. hit for the big air.
