Hey guys,

I know a lot of people are heading out to Mammoth soon so I figured I'd post this video as a little park update. This is freshman team member Matt Cook's promo for the season all filmed at Mammoth and June. Setup right now is about the same as the main park stuff in the video. Basically going off and spring is gonna be epic!!

If you guys wanna support us - we have 3 videos in the finals for a video competition in Reno - the Reno River Festival. You can vote for one of our 3 videos (your fav!) at this link!

We've got our 3D Edit, Feb Park Edit, and our Costa Rica Surf Edit.


Thanks!!!

filming, editing, and skiing were all really sick but I didn't dig the song that much, I felt like the vocals clashed with the beat and didn't really belong there.

hah, yeah, as I said in the other post - this song was sort of an inside joke. Matt always jokingly asks for tik tok to be played while we're partying.

USC is 5-6 hour drive from Mammoth but we have a house up here for the team. 3 stories, super nice, walking distance from lifts/buses. Most people come up thursday nights and go back sundays. Easily get 60-80 days skiing a season, or me I got 110 last year while doing full time engineering.

haha thanks mate. Actually joining the GoPro production team among various other things out in San Fran, so I'm sure I'll still be filming, hopefully making frequent trips down to Mammoth and continue the tradition/push along the new blood.

there are a lot of factors and what not going into that statement 'best'. I know CUFST (boulder) has an amazing team, Idaho was also out at Nationals. Our team is super tight knit, we have made a decent name for ourselves and we get to ski mammoth any weekend. We are part of the local league and party with all of the other southern california schools, so it's a really good time. UCLA, LMU, UCSB, UCSD, etc etc etc. Imagine all of those kids in one place every weekend! So fun
