When they're not in the theaters premiering their films there is no doubt a few stars will be trying to check out Utah's amazing mountains for some skiing or snowboarding. Luckily there are more than a few people trying to help get them up there!
The Burton Experience:
in past years actors like Aaron Paul have enjoyed Burton's complimentary snowboard lessons with Burton’s expert "Learn To Ride" instructors including Jack Mitrani, Danny Davis and Gabi Viteri. After being outfitted head to toe in new Burton demo gear, VIP guests hit the slopes for one wild ride, and are greeted at their Pig Pen lounge with Vermont-inspired comfort food and music by DJ Spider.
Neffland Park City:
Neff has teamed up with Park City to create a one of a kind snow park complete with candy cane rails, snow-cone jibs and so much more. They're also offering free lessons with a pro.
Oakley Learn To Ride: Director and Entourage star Adrian Grenier, along with many others, will head up some of Park City's impressive mountains armed with Oakley gear and lessons from professional riders. Before their trek, guests will be treating themselves to New Era caps, Emergen-C to keep the flu away, and Cream of Wheat. Element Electronics has set up a photo booth so the memories can be shared with the world via social media.
