Catskill Mountain Series, with the help of Hunter Mountain, is bringing back Halfpipe events to the region.

On Saturday, January 30, Hunter will be holding their "Unleash Your Monster" event. Hunter's Park Crew will construct a "stunt ditch" - a mini pipe with hips, rails, and other unique features on the deck.

CMS will be on hand to offer our athletes the opportunity to gain USASA points for two Halfpipe events.

Members will need to register with CMS online at usasa.org before 11:59pm Thursday night for $40 per event or on Saturday morning at 8-9am for $45 per event. Registration will be held outside The Board Room on the first floor of the Base Lodge.

CMS registered snowboarders and skiers will participate with other athletes signed up through Hunter Mountain.

The "Unleash Your Monster" schedule is as follows:

• 10:00am - 11:30am - Open Session (get a feel for the course)
• 11:30am - 1:30pm - Prelims
• 1:30 - 3:30pm - Finals
• 4:00pm - Awards and Bib Raffle in "Energy Arena" area 

For CMS athletes, we will designate two runs to count for the Halfpipe #1 event and two runs for the Halfpipe #2 event.

Everyone will be eligible to make it to the "Unleash Your Monster" finals, awards, and bib raffle.

Hunter will have some killer prizes for the winners including: 

• 2016-17 Nor'Easter Season Passes
