The FIS Snowboard World Cup heads into the back half of the 2019/20 season with four jam-packed days of action this week in California, where the Mammoth Mountain Land Rover US Grand Prix will see slopestyle and halfpipe competitions take to the resort’s famed Unbound park and pipe from January 29-Feb 1, 2020.

Halfpipe qualifications will open the action on Jan 29, followed by slopestyle qualies on Jan 30, pipe finals on the 31st, and slopestyle finals to close things off on February 1. Over 100 of the world’s best snowboarders are on hand for this week’s events, with 70 names currently on the slopestyle entry list and 51 set to drop in on the halfpipe.

While wind is in the forecast for Wednesday, organisers are hopeful that the atypical wind direction set to hit Mammoth will spare the zone where the pipe and slopestyle course are located. However, it could be a game of wait and see throughout the first day of qualifications, and we will keep you posted throughout on our social media channels.
