In the mind of Simon Dumont an idea has been germinating for about 6 years and finally today it came to fruition and completion. With the support of Red Bull, Snow Park Technologies and Squaw Valley this halfpipe was beyond even what those involved had imagined. Obviously you'll be seeing a lot of coverage in Freeskier and in Poorboyz Productions next movie over the next few months.

In the meantime, here are a few teaser shots to wet you appetite. Special thanks go out to Simon for allowing us to shoot and to everyone involved from Red Bull, Snow Park Technologies, Squaw and Poorboyz.

looks so much bigger when he's hitting it, i never thought about the fact he couldnt spot all the way because there is no pipe.
also, "the grand bizarre", kind of weird but i hope they have a few more "bizarre" set ups too, THAT would be sick
