Mini Pipe Meltdown – 2026

LAUNCH INTO A SPRING HALFPIPE JAM SESSION

The halfpipe comes alive on Sunday, March 22nd when Benny Milam & Garrett Mckenzie’s Mini Pipe Meltdown takes over Buck Hill’s halfpipe! From 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., snowboarders and freeskiers will drop into the Midwest’s only halfpipe for a high-energy jam session filled with style, progression, and plenty of springtime ripping.

If you’ve ever wanted to ride a sunny soft spring pipe or just want to watch riders send it, this will be it because the Mini Pipe Meltdown is a laid-back jam session, there’s no registration, and no pressure. Just show up, grab a lift ticket, and drop in when you’re ready.

Expect a soft spring pipe, loud music pumping, and riders sending it all afternoon. The event is a celebration of pipe riding and good times! It’s the perfect setup for laps and watching some seriously fun riding. The halfpipe naturally delivers front-row seats to some of the best action on the hill, and the atmosphere will feel more like a spring riding festival than a competition.
