This past week, some of the Signal squad had the pleasure of attending The Bowl Project at Snowbowl, 15 miles north of Flagstaff, Arizona. The mountain boasts 11,500 ft. as it's top elevation - but you can bet people were getting way higher during the first Snowboy Event for 2024. Snowboy Productions are on year nine of “The Projects” - a travelling private park shoot and non-test, which focuses on unique builds, creative riding and camaraderie rather than fancy awards.

Snowboarders from all over were in attendance - Snowboy events have always had a worldy draw. When you get a wide variety of snowboarders from different parts of the world together - great things happen. No pressure, just good times and lots of cameras to document the creativity unfolding over 4 days. Big ups to the Snowbowl for providing a canvas.

Everybody knows every good line starts with a pole jam.

Our crew arrived to snowy Arizona from different points in California & Nevada. The plan was to board everyday for 5 days - to make the most of our time and explore. And to the delight of every street snowboarder at the event, it was also game on in Flagstaff.

Which boarder got a clip - or two? Lenny, Jamie, Matt or Adrian.

The course was comprised of flowy bowl features, rails, bonks and the ever illusive Cacti. With so much going on at once, it was important to grab a good vantage point to watch. People riding the chairlift were going nuts for 4 days  solid - and you best believe there was some attention around the Volcanoes. How can you beat the view? They were doing controlled burns in the area all week - but if you squinted, you could kind of see the Grand Canyon.

Things ramped from Day 1 to 2 when rider’s became more comfortable with the course - connecting tricks and going even bigger. It’s really fun to watch the progression throughout the week. So many different styles and approaches to the course, nothing was redundant - a constant stream of new lines and tricks to draw inspiration from. Day 3 was cancelled for weather reasons. After a day of urban exploration for many event participants - the show was back on for Day 4 - the riders were peaking. 

We were 6 hours from the beach, yet Cali Carlson somehow managed to get tubular all week.
