Meadows Superpipe Receives Transworld Snowboard
Top 10 Honor
Meadows, with its 500-foot-long, eighteen-foot-high pipe, provides a flawless playground for blasting consecutive hits. The frame is mined into the ground to provide the earliest opening possible when the Northwest flakes start flying while sculptors Jason Stankevich and Josh King have the precision and muscle to keep it polished. Our usual heavy snowfall keeps this giant crevasse open late into the season and if that’s not enough to satisfy your pipe dreams, it’s lit up at night.
