The Mammoth Invitational 2012 is here! From fun races to full-tilt parties this event has something for everyone. There’s even a Biathlon – cross-country skiing with guns… Is there a better combo? Ok… before you answer that take a gander at the video above. Mammoth Freeride Ski Team Coach Benny Ryerson gives us the unofficial biathlon experience. Benny, who is more accustomed to switch 720s and cliff drops, let us tag along as he tried his hand at this unique sport at last month’s Mammoth Biathlon.
Missed out on the Mammoth Biathlon? Not to worry, the Mammoth Invitational is your second chance for skinny ski, firearm fun. And on top of everything, this weekend’s event benefits the Mammoth Mountain Community Foundation – an organization dedicated to education and athletic programs designed to identify and cultivate thinking, healthy and resilient kids. Guns, parties and a good cause… what more could you ask for?
Looked like a good time, too bad I’m such a shit show with my heel free and no edges.
Agreed. After watching Benny do it this year I am definitely thinking about giving it a go for 2013.
Speed suits while partying ARE definitely WAY cooler than in a biathlon.
That is freakin’ awesome! He looked beat to shit. GO BENNY!
This is your calling Colin. Benny will have some competition next year. We had a good laugh at Benny’s stop.
