Event History

The Nanshan Open planted its roots in China eight years ago, when a small group of international and local friends gathered for what would be the first snowboard event ever held on Chinese soil. Only a handful of riders took part, many of them in their first season of riding, and no one anticipated what would be in store for this backyard event in the years to come!

Eight years later, and the Red Bull Nanshan Open has become the biggest Asian competition of the Swatch Ticket To Ride World Snowboard Tour (at time of writing). Gaining a 3Star TTR ranking in 2007, the Open grew to a 4Star event the following year and has maintained this status, offering up US$25,000 in prize money and 500 TTR points. This is also the Open’s fourth year with Red Bull as the title sponsor; these long-term partnerships have allowed the Open to make dramatic and exciting progress in what was very much a developing snowboard scene.

Over the years The Red Bull Nanshan Open has earned itself a reputation with riders as one of the most enjoyable competition trips in existence. A perfectly shaped snowpark and a full week’s worth of 5-star hotels, foot massages, fine dining and sightseeing await competitors that participate – and the inside word is that the parties get pretty wild as well!

Putting together an event like this is never easy, yet a small tight-knit local crew of Chinese and international colleagues seem to make this event run as smoothly as possible, year after year. From the parkshaper to the manager, members of the mellowparks.cn team dedicate their everything to organizing this week full of madness! This year will see long-standing mellowparks.cn Park Designer and Shaper Marco Huang step up to take charge of the competition park. Marco has managed the Quiksilver Nanshan Mellow Park for the last five years, and his familiarity with the location, experience and vision guarantees this year’s setup will be the perfect crowd and rider pleaser!

The Red Bull Nanshan Open has single-handedly put China on the snowboarding map, not ‘just’ as an event, but the for the whole package enjoyed by participants. The contest that has experienced more 'firsts' than most other events combined is back for more, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for us this year! To truly understand what we mean, we invite you to experience the 8th Red Bull Nanshan Open for yourself.
