Big Bear Lake, CA – For the 10th year in a row, Southern California’s Bear Mountain ski area will kick off its winter season with its Hot Dawgs and Handrails (HDHR) snowboard competition.
HDHR will go off this year on Sept. 21 with huge features, returning snowboard pros and up-and-coming professionals, plus food and live music for spectators. This year’s sponsors include Red Bull, GoPro, Electric, Skullcandy, ThirtyTwo and Wahoo’s.
Bear Mountain’s Park Staff never gets much of a summer break. They are already hard at work down at the Feature Factory this year designing new and innovative jibs, jumps and rails, and rebuilding some of old favorites from The Park. The crew has also been busy plotting out the course for what they say will be the biggest and best Hot Dawgs and Handrails yet.
In addition to the features, Park Staff is making some big changes to the overall layout at Bear Mountain. They are in the process of relocating the resort’s Redbull Plaza to Lower Park Run and switching up the flow of the entire park.
