2016 Vans Hi-Standard Snow Series World Tour kicks off at Mount St. Louis This Weekend

A huge snowboarding event is taking place Saturday at Mount St. Louis, Moonstone. Mount St. Louis is hosting the first of the Vans Hi-Standard Series, an international contest series inviting talented snowboarders to showcase pure style in a thrilling jam format. Touring across the US, Canada, China, Korea and France, the Vans Hi-Standard Series features an original big air format where riders are judged by individual style only, with no rotations over 720 allowed.

The event is open to snowboarders of all ages and ability and the jam format series allows riders to take as many runs as they like and showcase their style and creativity. The contest judges along with members of the Vans pro snowboard team will hand out $5 bills to competitors who successfully land stylish tricks. All successful tricks will be paid until the allotted prize amount per age category is reached.
