I had no idea what to expect on my way to the Patch Match near Mountain High, just outside of Los Angeles, CA. My only choice, though, was to be optimistic. After all, hiking 2.7 miles up a closed highway would have been pointless without the allure of summer shredding around the corner. The signs were posted along the side of the road, promising one last front board, one last tailblock, one last jump. Soon enough, it actually was around the corner, a true oasis of snow looking over the high desert.

About a hundred shreds escaped LA to seek out and destroy some snow last weekend.

Get shredded on June 8th at the Patch Match.Sure it might be bikini season in SoCal, but there’s still a patch of snow just Hwy 2 that’s entirely slashable. And some heads are hosting a jam. Come and ride from 10am to 5pm.
