SALT LAKE CITY, March 9, 2012 – Tomorrow, March 10, 2012, Utah’s finest Night Owls will shred and grind the night away at the second and final SLUG Games contest of 2012.

The contest’s course, built by terrain park manager Jeremy Cooper and the Park City Park Crew, will feature wall rides, jumps, boxes as well as Utah’s finest shredders and skiers.

“I’m super excited to work with Park City again to host another installment of the SLUG Games!  Last year’s success proved to the local ski and snowboard community how much fun a night contest can be. I expect nothing less from this year’s Shred the Park After Dark,” says SLUG Games team manager Mike Brown.

SLUG Magazine Announces 12^th 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.

Our friend and local artist, Mike Murdock took on painting the Tombstone Jib for us, and it turned out super fresh and deadly.

Think you’ve got what it takes to shred with the undead? Head up to Brighton next Saturday, the 14th and show us what you’ve got at Dawn of the Shred.

They are coming. Can you feel it? My skin is crawling just thinking about it. They are rolling in their graves, they can feel the cold. Once they’re out, they’ll head for the mountains and then we’re all screwed.

The SLUG Games – Dawn of the Shred – hits Brighton Resort January 14th on a course customized for all living dead skiers and snowboarders. Tombstone jibs, coffin boxes and toxic waste barrels will decorate the course. DJ Matty Mo will be there spinning the most epic of shred jams, and with any luck Bruce Campbell will show up to save us from the undead.

Registration starts at 10 a.m., entry is free. All you need are your skis or board, a lift pass, and your zombie apocalypse survival kit. Are you ready?

The SLUG Games has served as a stomping ground for established pros like Bode Merrill, Stevie Bell and Gabby Maiden and up and comers such as Ted Borland, Alex Andrews and Sean Black. The series has made a name for itself among local riders by hosting a variety of themed amateur contests over the past 11 years.

Our twelfth year will remain FREE of registration fees for competitors.

This season SLUG Games presents:

• Dawn of the Shred at Brighton Resort on January 14, 2012
• Shred The Park After Dark at Park City Mountain Resort on March 10, 2012
