2013 Mountains of Steez Day Recap
Last Saturday was the 4th annual Mountains of Steez Day at Granite Gorge in Keene, NH. If you missed it then you seriously blew it as the pictures below will confirm. The weather held off to make for a perfect day of shredding. This year we had more than enough snow to build top to bottom park features including a full scale plaza at the base of Main Street. With a dozen vendors on mountain, live music outdoors, a beer garden and ice bar, we were well prepared for an on mountain party this year, and thats what we did. We had record attendance numbers throughout the day and gave away a ton of crap to everyone who came out from all over New England. Riders threw down on the plaza features including the custom Never Summer box as well as the big air booter throughout the days various comps. Top prize in our big air took home a 5lb whoopie pie and a bunch of other stuff. MOS day is all about having fun, not so much winning crazy money and new cars, that’s just how we do it. Day turned to night and that brought out the much awaited Granite Gauntlet – a switchback woods run with banked turns and numerous burms and gaps, lit exclusively by tiki torches and finishing with a bonfire gap. Riders braved the dark and the snow and ice chunks thrown by spectators, all for the glory of our 3 awesome prizes – a case of Miller 40′s, months supply of Hot Pockets and an autographed Carmen Electra photo. Can;t beat that! We announced awards at the bar, cracked the 40′s and it was all downhill form there… Somehow we all got shuttled back to the hotel in Keene and nursed some of the worst hangovers in our lives. Next year is the 5th year and it’s only gonna get worse kids! Get ready!

Shred Circuit Granite Peak Recap
So-Gnar just wrapped up their Granite Peak, WI stop for Shred Circuit. Here’s what they had to say about it -
We had a blast at Granite Peak for stop #4. It was 2 cold days full of some serious progression and technical trickery. We managed to finally get some sleep in a little yurt at the base of the hill and some of the crew even got a late night rail sesh in. Granite Peak lined us up with a nice chunk of terrain mid hill and the with the Redbull truck in place, it was go-time! We had a great turn out of campers and everyone brought their A-game. Big thanks to everyone at Granite Peak, it’s always a pleasure being back here.
Huge congrats goes out to Garrett Mckenzie for taking 1st in the Shred Circuit Contest Series and winning himself an all-expense payed trip to CO to compete in the Shred Circuit Finals.
We would like to thank all the campers, parents, coaches, park crew, and the sponsors for the support. All photos have been captured by the talented and eclectic Chris Faronea.
