SLUG Magazine Announces 12th Annual SLUG Games: Dawn of the Shred Presented by Budweiser at Brighton on January 14
SALT LAKE CITY, January 6, 2012 – Tearing down slopes for the last 11 years, the SLUG Games Amateur Ski and Snowboard series is rolling out its first contest of the year on the cold, undead slopes of Brighton Resort on January 14.
Dawn of the Shred will follow a jam format with men’s and women’s open divisions in both ski and snowboard, along with men 17 & under snowboard and men and women 17& under ski. The customized course will feature tombstone jibs, coffin boxes and toxic waste barrels for all the local shred hungry zombies to shuffle over as they compete for survival (and prizes). With FREE registration, even a scrambled brain has no excuse to miss out on the blood bath.
Spawned from the addled minds of SLUG Magazine, the SLUG Games has seen the likes of established pros such as Bode Merrill, Stevie Bell and Gabby Maiden, along with up-and-comers Ted Borland, Alex Andrews and Sean Black among others. The series has made a name for itself among local riders by hosting a variety of themed amateur contests over the past 11 years, celebrating 12 this season.
Registration for Dawn of the Shred begins in the Brighton Center at Brighton Resort at 10 a.m. There is no registration fee, however, contestants must provide their own lift pass and equipment.
