Snowboarders ride Mount Hermosa

Beach culture met mountain culture at the second annual Snowfest turns downtown into Mount Hermosa as 60 tons of snow is dumped on Pier Avenue. Known in snowboarding lingo as an “urban rail jam,” the event created a snowboarding terrain park at sea level and brought competitive snowboarding to the snowless streets of Hermosa Beach.In front of hundreds of spectators lining the edges of the track, riders performed tricks for the judges as they vied for just 15 spots in the final round. Check out some awesome photos of the event. Click Here
