In early November a few of the Wildcard squad headed out on a mission to hunt and conquer any fresh pow we could find. We didn’t find much pow yet, but the parks were Go-Time. MC Pump, Dave Grigby and the crew at Snowboard Mag helped set us up with a sweet party for the Breckenridge premier of The Saturday Night Ride. They were also our local connection and we decided to check out Copper Mountain, Colorado after we got a heads up that conditions were fun.


The Wildcard crew was ready to board Copper Mountain for the first time this season.
The Copper Catylst park looked really nice from the chairlift and we filmed a couple doubles lines as Jeremy Dubs rode up the chair.

 The park guys were all kitted up in all-black 686 gear and were stoked to rake the spot after every few hits. Colorado has some of the best parks we have ever seen and its because of people like this who are dedicated to keeping the features all smooth and dialed. The features at Copper were spread out and very hittable.

The Contour headcam provides a unique perspective for the rider to self-film, and in this case self-photograph their adventures.

Andy Stern was throwing down some new tricks we’d never seen him do. Uniquely built jibs will challenge riders to bust new moves, and Andy had a hayday with the features at Copper, it was a good time. He threw down his second switch bs rodeo of the week and Switch 50-50 bs180ed on the ledge-box. The main obstacle to overcome was the hard landings if you touched down anywhere but your board.
