Everyone loves to hate on New Jersey but whatevs, you can’t argue that Mountain Creek has pushed to become one of the top park and pipe mountains in the country. This weekend they are opening their new 22 foot pipe with Atmosphere and Masa and today they announced the release of the Jersey Pride beanie collabo with Neff. Only 300 beanies are available onsite at the Creek or online here. More info on Saturday’s pipe event after the jump.

Last Saturday, Mt Seymour in British Columbia and Nike 6.0 opened up the Greatest Hits Park with the famous Red Ledge from Montmorency Falls in Quebec City. Local rippers like Justin VDP, Chelsea Armstrong and Corey McIntosh sessioned the ledged while heads partied alongside. The next feature to be opened will be a BC Electrical Box and the final feature, opening on February 20th, will be the Burlington Double Kink. Stay tuned for more.

Showing their continued dedication to core shredding, Nike 6.0 has created the Greatest Hits project at Mt. Seymour, British Columbia. For the next month, Nike 6.0 will be recreating three legendary shred spots at Mt. Seymour, starting this Saturday, January 30th, with the Red Ledge from Montmorency Falls in Quebec City. Not necessarily anti-Olympic, Greatest Hits is more of a reminder that snowboarding is way more about homies than medals and flags and each fabricated spot is being chosen through an online vote at Nike6.com. Spot #2 is a BC electrical box and spot #3 is still TBD. 6.0 and Mt Seymour are also throwing in lots of treats during each session. We’ll have more on this throughout the month. Full info after the jump.

In a move that really takes the cake for resort radness, Grouse Mountain in North Vancouver will be open 24/7 for the entire duration of the Olympics.

The DC Team has been ripping it all over and making dope little webisodes for us to get stoked on. Here peep Lauri Heiskari, Aaron Bittner, Chas Guldemond, Torstein Horgmo, and Kimmy Fasani doing Northstar up properly.

Hot Damn it really is on! Copper Mountain in Colorado opened top to bottom operations this morning. With a nice 18″ mid-mountain base, 3 lifts, 60 acres and 4 trails open as well as the Eagle Jib Park, die hard shreds are getting their first full taste of the mountain today.

No f’in way. It’s October 7 and Colorado is open for shred! Taking the title for resort with the earliest legit opening, Colorado’s Loveland just beat out perennial early opener mainstay A-Basin by letting dudes rip today on an 18 inch base of packed pow. For reals, this launch was Lovelnad’s earliest opening in 40 years. The snow gods are kind!

The countdown has now really begun – Copper started making snow today. Now the first order of business to get ready for their opening in 36 days is to get crackin on their new 22 ft Superpipe.
