WHAT:
Red
Bull
Butter
Cup
is
a
snowboard
contest
series
that
showcases
creativity
in
technical
flatland
trickery.
Born
in
the
northeast
in
2009
and
expanded
across
the
country
in
2010,
it’s
all
about
going
back
to
the
basics
of
what
made
us
all
fall
in
love
with
snowboarding
in
the
first
place:
FUN!
The
series
invites
riders
of
all
types
to
cut
loose,
and
spread
it
on.
The
Red
Bull
Butter
Cup
series,
which
lets
snowboarders
spread
their
smooth
style
onto
custom-made
features,
is
sliding
into
Bear
Mountain
resort
as
part
of
a
22
stop
national
series.
In
its
3rd
year
the
series
is
hitting
resorts
from
Tahoe,
CA
to
Mount
Snow,
VT,
hosting
local
athletes
hoping
to
butter
up
the
judges
to
earn
bragging
rights
-
and
a
little
cheddar.
So
what
exactly
makes
one
buttery?
It’s
all
about
how
much
style
each
rider
can
spread
on
the
custom-built
features
also
known
as
“butterpads.”
Riders
“jib,
bonk,
tap
and
slide”
their
way
across
a
multi-featured
pad,
showcasing
their
skills
and
not
skimping
on
the
flair.
The
Bear
Mountain
resort
stop
will
feature
local
riders
in
a
Pro/Am
format,
where
they
will
battle
it
out
in
a
jam
for
cash
and
prizes,
where
overall
style
and
creativity
will
help
the
cream
rise
to
the
top.
Only
trick
sequences
that
include
buttering
will
count.
