The North Face Masters of Snowboarding features a $15,000 cash prize purse and an opportunity for Big Mountain snowboarders to pit themselves against athlete and mountain alike. The North Face Masters returns to Snowbird, April 12 – 15, 2012, where competitors look forward to the notoriously challenging Little Cottonwood Canyon terrain littered with chutes, cliff drops, and the legendary lake-effect Utah powder.

All male and female snowboarding competitors over the age of 18 are welcomed to participate.

“Today’s riders are redefining what is possible—they’re taking the tricks and skills learned in the terrain parks to the Big Mountain environment,” said Joe Flannery, Vice President of Marketing for The North Face. “As a company that was born in the mountains, we’re excited to see today’s brightest snowboarding stars with a venue that celebrates what they do.”
