Event History
The Nanshan Open began in China seven years ago when a small group of international and local friends gathered for what would be the first snowboard event on Chinese soil. Fewer than 20 riders took part, most of them in their very first season riding, and no one anticipated what would be in store for this small event in the world of snowboarding.
Seven years later, and the Nanshan Open is a world-class event, drawing a roster of top riders and sponsors who have helped make some dramatic progress in what is still a developing snowboard scene. This is the Open’s third year as a TTR ranked event and its third year with Red Bull as sponsor. This year China’s only international snowboard event once again offers first-class hospitality and riding for your pleasure.
The small crew that puts together this event must be one of the most hard-working in the world. Working in a country where nothing is easy, a small tight-knit crew of Chinese and international workers bend over backwards in order to make sure this event runs as smoothly as possible. Tommy ‘Mellow’ Marsh designs an international standard park, with perfect kickers and creative obstacles. All of this would not be possible without the local know-how of Marco Huang, local head park shaper and one of the co-founders of China’s snowboard scene. Mellow Parks, the longest running park-shaping and event organizing team creates a perfect playground and continuously pushes the limits.
With the help of massive media attention and the high quality event infrastructure, the Red Bull Nanshan Open has single-handedly put China on the snowboarding map – Not just for the event, but the people, culture, and hospitality enjoyed by participants. To truly understand what we mean, we invite you to experience the Nanshan Open for yourself.

“The China trip was definitely a top 3 for me ever.” – Danny Larson
“Never before have I been to a contest where I’ve been taken such good care of as in Nanshan this winter. Not only was the park epic, but also the people and all the extra happenings at the event.” – Jonte Edvardson
“The Chinese people remind me of the early 90’s when snowboarding just started. There is a buzz around it, like the good old days. Nothing but positive passion for this great shredding activity. I’m looking forward to experiencing this wild country once again.” – Marc Andre Tarte
