Mark McMorris is BACK!
No, not in his video game ‘Infinite Air’, in real life this time! Mark McMorris made his competition return at the World Cup snowboarding Big Air competition in Milan, Italy this past Saturday. It was his first appearance since breaking his femur during a ‘freak accident’ at the Air and Style event in Los Angeles on February 21st. He finished the competition earning himself a bronze medal. Not a bad spot to be in for someone who’s been out of the game for a few months.
Check out some highlights below:

But if anyone is up to the challenge, it's @markmcmorris, who remains in 2nd after 2. The last jump is up next! https://t.co/dG9kEkvANV

McMorris goes for broke and, well, breaks. A fall on his last jump lands him in 3rd overall. More to come. https://t.co/QKcObte8Vi

We’re looking forward to watch Mark continue to kill this season! He’s currently on his way to Beijing for Air & Style, which is the test event in Korea for the Olympics Big Air contest. Then he’ll be competition in the Dew Tour in Breckenridge.
Here’s an interview he recently gave about his recovery, video game and future competitions.
Watching Mark’s comeback is making us stoked to get back on the slopes at Mount St. Louis Moonstone in January. If you haven’t registered yet, no worries, there is still time to do so!
