"It got so big we had to take it international!! 6 days of peace love ‘n shred!!! It's always been the highest event in snowboarding!! Now it's the longest!" -Dingo

Monster Energy is proud to announce that it has joined forces with Grenade Gloves to bring the infamous Grenade Games to Whistler, BC during the TELUS World Ski and Snowboard Festival this April. Now in their fifth year, the Grenade Games have set themselves apart as the snowboard industries best end-of-season contest and party. Bringing them to Whistler during the TWSSF was a natural step to combine two of the biggest spring events into one giant happening.

In the tradition of the Grenade Games, the contest will combine typical snowboard events with an unexpected twist. The Superpipe has evolved into something bigger and better, snowboarders will be challenged to hurl themselves down a mogul field for the first-of-its-kind dual slalom mogul event, and all of it will be capped off in front of thousands of screaming fans Saturday night, with a showcase like nothing the WSSF has ever seen before.

“We are proud to announce we are bringing “The Grenade Games 5” to Whistler. With the biggest and baddest lineups ever this April, it is sure to be the best. The Grenade Games is a celebration of Snowboarding, music and everything else holy! VIVA la Games! Get ready to Ride…EH!” - Danny Kass

Poker Run, April 21, Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains
Poker in the mountains. Athletes meet at The Longhorn, and then grab their boards and set out to find 4 poker tables strategically placed at critical spots on Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. At each table they complete a task to receive their card and move on to the next one. The 5th playing card will be dealt back at The Longhorn, completing the hand. The top 8 hands of the day will move on to the final table to play a full round of high stakes Texas Hold’Em with Danny and Dingo in front of a crowd of fans, playing for prizes and bragging rights.
 

Dual Slalom Moguls, April 22, Catskinner Bumps
Always looking for a good way to have fun in the snow, Grenade is bringing back the mogul contest, but this time the rules have changed. Head to head elimination slalom course, and a mandatory air all taking place on one of North America’s steepest bump runs. Crashes? Inevitable. Party? Definitely.
 

Grenade’s Superpipe, April 23 - 24, Blackcomb Superpipe
Throw out what you know about superpipe. The Grenadians are bringing their version of transition riding to Blackcomb to prove once and for all that when it comes to pipe, progression isn’t all about adding another 180 to your spin. New obstacles and a brand new pipe configuration will set this event apart. Riders will shred the pipe until they are “tapped out”, at which point they can cheer their friends on from the sidelines. 30 riders advance to finals on day 2 where they will have a fun day of riding, in a no pressure jam format. This pipe will have more hits and features then some pros have tricks. Bring you’re A-Z game.
 

Mini Ramp Jam, April 24, Village Square
After a long winter of riding, snowboarders get to dust off their skate skills on our mini ramp. This mini ramp contest will be for invited Grenade Games athletes, and judged by Monster pro skaters Jake Brown, Greg Lutzka, Geoff Rowley and PLG.


The Grand Finale, April 25, Skier's Plaza
Always the highlight of the week, the Saturday night finale in front of a massive crowd in the Skier’s Plaza (next to the Longhorn) is going to have everyone talking Sunday morning. This is not the “same old big air”. This 3 hit, jam format, Slopestyle with unique features will keep the 40 invited riders inspired to kill it. 10 riders will advance to the Super Final. This is what happens when you tell Danny Kass and friends to build the best event ever
