Highland Gears up for the Claymore Challange.

Jul 14, 2008
by Jordan Holmes  
Highland Mountain is in full swing as the crew gears up for the first annual Highland Claymore Challenge, July 25th-26th. Resident Pro Dave Smutok has been slaying the tractor building a progressive freeride course full of jumps, drops, wallrides, and other unique and interesting features. With option lines at every hit, including different size drops and jumps, the course will allow riders of all skill level the opportunity to have fun on this one of a kind course.Some of the sports top pro’s have already confirmed attendance at the inaugural event including Cam McCaul, Aaron Chase, Jamie Goldman, Adam Hauck, Phil Sundbaum, Andrew Taylor, Alex Reveles, Eric Porter, Dave Smutok, and more. With the talent pool growing by the day, Highland will play host to one of the United States only freeride contests, and the only slopestyle event of its size on the East Coast.

 i was there on saturday and saw a bunch of people ripping up the course after hours. mark the owner let the lift and everything stay open for an extra hour or so after closing for who ever wanted to just keep riding.
