The Grenade Games went down in June Lake this past weekend to celebrate green. Today we give you a brief re-cap of Saturday’s events which was pretty much slopestyle day. Basically Grenade rented out June Mountain for a party. Pretty much no rule was the rule. The price of admission was $30 for one day or $50 for two. Keep in mind the price of admission included all the riding you can handle for 7 hours and free entry into any event of your choice. A private party at June Lake with some of the world’s best snowboarders and other like minded individuals – I am in! Lot’s of beer, lots of trips to the woods for 420 action, lots of action on the hill, lots of fun, and lots of drinking in the bars.
The slopestyle course was basically the same course that June had set up towards the end of the season with some bigger jumps thrown in. There was supposed to be a slopestyle contest but I don’t think that ever went down. The Chinese eyed downhill was insane. Pretty much every had fun except those that got arrested on the way in. Thanks for the ultimate snowboard party Grenade
At breakfast in June Lake on Saturday 4/19 the locals were taking bets as to how many people would get busted on their way into town. Well, who knows how many but the cops sure hassled a lot of people. It was pretty much bullshit. There was not one fight or one serious injury. Guess cops have to feel like they did something – save the town from the hooligans – crap. Other than that the Grenade Games were all about fun
Welcome to June Mountain a sign said “we own it today” and everyday. Referring to the fact that Grenade rented out the whole resort
Pretty much don’t dress like this unless you are Chris Bradshaw. Somehow it is ok for him to do it but if you do it, you are retarded. By the way there were a lot of Chris Bradshaw, Lane Knack and Danny Kass wannabees running around
Amy from Billabong. In 1990 I drove up to Mammoth with Brian Botts. Brian ended up moving to Salt Lake, riding Snowbird, working at a candy apple stand, getting a cover on Blunt, managing the snow team at DC and now works at real estate in Park City. Amy married Brian, moved out to San Marcos and lived with Brian, her twin sister and Chris Engelsman. Then divorced Brian and know she is at the Grenade Games hanging out with Kevin Casillo. Do you care, probably not. Kevin Casillo and Dave Schiff seemed to be running the show at 420 day
Pretty much you can thank this man for the Grenade Games and a lot of other things. Danny Kass started Grenade, built it from scratch and continues to be a key figure in the company. This picture – just some random trick, shows why he rule so bad, the little tweak and style is what separates the pros from the huckers
Luke Thorington from Juneau Alaska which happens to be the same town that Mark Landvik is from. He told me all sorts of interesting things about snowboarding in Alaska. If you want, email me and I will share my secondhand knowledge with you
Luke Mitrani – is he still sponsored by Mountain Dew?
Danny again and again with that style you can’t match
Our favorite ripper – Lonnie Kauk
Mason Aguirre and friend double up
Chas Guldemond very much enjoyed the 420 snowboarding activities a day early, on 419 actually
This was freaking funny. Johnny Centi was follow caming Nick Russell when a MASSIVE gust of wind almost blew them over backwards. Seriously, check out Nick’s hat and goggles flying off his head. It was funny cuz they both rode away safe, super sketchy
Chas Guldy again
Louie Vito is like my stepson - love that kid
Can you really see too much of Danny. If you are gay for sure not. I happen to not be gay but I like photos of Danny
Lonnie’s Brother Plake Kauk on the red eye
Don’t know who this is but Andrew said it was a cool shot
Cornell on a propane tank
Dingo and Kevin Casillo about to start the Chinese eyed downhill
Dave Schiff and Dingo spewing words at each other
Go! The start of the Chinese eyed downhill which a race with simple rules – 1st down and to chug a Monster energy drinks wins. It was hectic
Vito and Casillo watching the action
This is the moment of truth and we have the photographic proof. The skier actually got down first but Thor crawled over him to go for the Monster
Here we see Thor with the winning chug, we also see Mason Aguirre (purple) and Lucas Magoon (brown) and others in the pile up
Thor, Danny Kass and Mason
Sex, Thor and Black Metal! Stay tuned for Sundays events
