SuperUnknown XV officially kicked things off on Monday night at evo Denver where our 10 Finalists gathered from around the world. Skis were tuned, introductions were made, gift bags from Wells Lamont and Level 1 were given out, and we headed up to Winter Park where our crew will spend the rest of the week shaping and shredding some wild custom features!
The boys showing off the loot from Wells Lamont.
The Finalists are (from left to right) Simon Bartik, Sam Zahner, Jessy Desjardins, Joel Magnusson, Jacob Belanger, Remco Kayser, Calvin Barrett, Jack Finn, Parker Norvell and Hunter Hess.
Day 1 at Winter Park was a snowy one- not ideal for shooting but a perfect opportunity to scope and start dialing in features for the rest of the week including some fresh rail setups and what very well may be the largest jump ever built at Winter Park. The forecast for the next couple days is calling for nothing but sunshine and bangers, so keep up to date with the day to day action and a look behind the scenes in our Instagram Stories.
Also follow our official media partner Newschoolers.com for updates on their Instagram, and stay tuned for the first web edit dropping later this week.
