Mountain Dew creates snowboard, skateboard course on snow

Brand to debut 22-minute documentary on ABC

Mountain Dew SuperSnake
September 13, 2016

Mountain Dew, a brand of Purchase, N.Y.-based PepsiCo Inc., in collaboration with Snow Park Technologies and CA RampWorks, announced the creation of SuperSnake, the ultimate snowboard and skateboard hybrid dream course on snow, the company says.

A 22-minute short film titled "SuperSnake" will unveil the new course build-out and unconventional riding experiences that brought elite skateboarders and snowboarders together to ride alongside each other for the first time ever. The short film will be televised nationally Oct. 16, during ABC's weekly 'World of X Games' action sports content series, it adds.

"SuperSnake's concept showcases Mountain Dew's ongoing support of creating original, fun and progressive opportunities for both our athletes and fans to enjoy," said Greg Lyons, senior vice president of marketing for Mountain Dew, in a statement. "We are giving the Dew Nation and our roster of athletes something that has never been done before, driving creative instigation that positively affects the entire action sports community and beyond."

SuperSnake, a course that took 14 days to create, highlights professional Mountain Dew skateboarder Sean Malto and Olympic snowboarder and DEW rider Danny Davis, alongside nearly a dozen other notable action sports athletes, including professional snowboarders Jeremy Jones and Scotty Lago, and Mountain Dew skate athletes Trevor Colden, Chris Colbourn, Jordan Maxham, Nick Tucker and Micky Papa, as they push the limits of what is possible on both a skateboard and a snowboard, the company says.

"It's really awesome to have skateboarders and snowboarders come together on one course," Davis said in a statement. "Building on the momentum that Mountain Dew has created through my vision of Peace Park, SuperSnake pushes creativity and stylistic riding through the athletes' visions and the course builders' innovations and expertise, but most importantly, it's always about progressing the sports and having fun."

Malto added: "I never thought I'd ever be skating on a course on snow. The coolest part was skating a snake run on top of snow and having the insane views of the mountains. Being able to skateboard alongside the legendary Danny Davis snowboarding was an experience I'll never forget."

The course was built on snow at Sierra-At-Tahoe, just outside of South Lake Tahoe, Calif., creating a skateboarding and snowboarding experience with a total of 24 combined skate and snow features, including jibs, hips, quarter pipes, volcanoes and more for elite riders to enjoy, the company says. The SuperSnake film highlights the creation of the build-out and the riders' experiences on the first-ever 1,075-foot skate snake run that winds downhill throughout the snow park course, it adds.
