The Low on the 2011 Big Air Fiesta!


Last Saturday, Spring was far from the only thing in the air at Stevens Pass, as many of the Pacific Northwest's top terrain park slayers turned out for the 2011 Big Air Fiesta! This year's invitation-only event drew 42 competitors, throwing down for cash prizes, and was held right in the base area. The scent of fresh barbeque wafted out of The Outer Limits Grill and into an enthusiast crowd as the best in the Northwest battled it out on our fiesta-style booter...

It takes a little something to get out there and go for it in front of a crowd, so big ups to our winners, as well as the rest of this year's competitors! Whether you were hitting the jump, or just hanging out watching the show, we hope everyone had a blast at the 2011 Big Air Fiesta!

(Above) Max McIndoe has been killing it up here at Stevens Pass since he was just a kid. This former grom is always sporting an enthusiastic smile and has become an integral part of our Terrain Park Team. Keep an eye on this guy, he'll be doing big things up here for years to come! Max also took 2nd in this year's Fiesta...
