Red Bull Cold Rush 2012

This years Red Bull Cold Rush went down at nearby Silverton Mountain last week and Red Bull just released their highlight, teaser video before the event is televised in a few weeks. Unfortunately, tough avalanche conditions limited the terrain for the Big Mountain day after a slide ran through the venue on day 1 and cancelled the Cliffs day entirely! Kind of a bummer…
