Mammoth Mountain Returns to Grand Prix The hosting the first Olympic snowboard team announcement in 1998, Mammoth Mountain is back on the Grand Prix tour as the final stop and will host full-field Half Pipe and Slopestyle competitions.
"Mammoth has been a tremendous partner of ours for years. It has been a hotbed for growing a tremendous amount of talent out of their parks and pipes," Clark said. To be going back to a longstanding partner, someone who's really grown with the snowboard industry as it has expanded in the U.S., it's fitting and exciting."
In addition to hosting the halfpipe competition, Mammoth will also hold a slopestyle event where athletes have the chance to show off their style on the kickers and course features.
Known for being the only resort in North America to offer three different-sized halfpipes, Mammoth's 22-foot super pipe will give athletes their last two competitions in which they can qualify for a spot in the reduced field at the final tour stop where the Olympic team will be named.
