MOUNT PAKENHAM | BANKED SLALOM

The Vans Hi-Standard returned to Brighton resort in Utah after a three-year hiatus. It was an epic display of snowboarding talent and our amazing community. The best snowboarders in the world were in attendance: Jake Kuzyk, Kennedi Deck, Jill Perkins, Benny Urban, Taylor Davies, Reid Smith, Danimals, Tommy Gesme, Jed Anderson, Louif Paradis, Ivika Jürgenson, Spencer Schubert (to name drop a few) all showcasing their skills in the cash for tricks format.
The competition vibe was fun but fierce, with a high level of riding vying for the 10K top prize. Despite a full snowstorm that blew in, the riders seemed unfazed and put on an unforgettable show.
In the end, Jed Anderson was untouchable. Jill Perkins, who helped design the setup, made it her own. At the end of the day, the Vans Hi-Standard event was a highlight of the season, and we are hyped to see it back and more impactful than ever.
Hit up our highlight reel for video evidence.
