The US Open 2010 was one of thre most anticipated in years! with all the crazy olympic hype for double cork madness the masses were ready for a pipe that could allow this to go down! The Planet pipe at this years open was the best ever! The whole Planet crew came out to the open for the first time to ensure the pipe was ready for the radness!

Burtons Liam making the official call the pipe kicks ass!

Planet has been hard at work getting pipes open at Keystone resort , Winterpark resort, and Telluride all in Colorado. Also the pipe out in Stratton some stuff in Japan and Calgary. But the work and effort going into the pipe at Otsego Club Michigan is a little different. We have 12 Olympic teams trainning at this private resort and the Planet guys put in a rediculous amount of time to get this thing going and to keep it going smooth.

Planet has been working hard this winter on different parks and events and none harder than Pat Melandoski and Rich Schollum at our events in Japan. Marginal snow conditions and injury’s tried to slw the crew down but with unbridaled tenacity the crew put together one of the best Pipes and Slopestyle courses the event has ever seen.
