The $30,000 Cholula Triple Air returns to Mountain High for the 13th straight season. This is the resort’s largest one-day snowboarding competition and participants come from as far away as Utah and Colorado to battle for the enormous prize purse. Not one, but three enormous jumps stand between the rider and the podium, and competitors are judged on their amplitude, execution, and technical difficulty. First held in snowboarding’s method-grabbing heyday of 1998, the Triple Air has been bringing top-name riders to the region for 13 years. Past participants include Shaun White, Chas Guldemond, Gabe Taylor, Kevin Pearce and Keegan Valaika. Divisions consist of open mens snowboarding, open womens snowboarding, and open mens skiing. Entry fees are $150 and cash prizes are paid out to 10th place.
