Fresh off of one of the most well-attended snowboarding events in the history of the sport, Zeb Powell and company are sticking around the northeast.
Red Bull’s Slide-In Tour is back for another year. Powell, Brantley Mullins, Kaden Rusinko, Alex Caccamo, Grace Warner, and Jesse Augustinus are traveling from ski area to ski area across New England to help share the shred. This is the seventh iteration of the community event.

“Snowboard-style king and X Games gold and silver medalist, Zeb Powell, has assembled a stacked crew to pack up and hit the road for a week long road trip through the Northeast,” Red Bull said in its promotional material.
The tour kicked off on March 1, 2025 at Loon Mountain Resort in Lincoln, New Hampshire, then headed north to Sunday River in Maine the following day. The next stop will be at Pleasant Mountain Resort in Bridgton, Maine on Tuesday, March 4 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
After a travel day, the crew will head to Sugarbush on March 6, 2025, then to Killington Ski Resort Saturday, March 8 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Last year, the Tour came through the Midwest in addition to the northeast, with stops at Trollhaugen in Wisconsin and Pine Knob Resort in Clarkston, Michigan.

The idea was born from Powell’s former manager, who wanted to do a tour around the northeast to show love to a region that is sometimes overlooked when it comes to snowboarding. Powell said in an interview that the energy of the kids is infectious at Saskadena Six, Vermont and Mountain Creek, New Jersey with he visited with the Hoods to Woods crew.
“Everyone had gone down for dinner and I wanted to stay out to ride because I had been busy all day,” Powell said about the Mountain Creek day. “Then half the mountain came to ride with me basically. It wasn’t like I had called them to do that, they just kind of showed up. I think that’s the best part of Slide In Tour, is when the kids know they can come ride and hang out, whether it’s talking to me or just riding beside me. That’s the most important part of it.”

I’ve been to one Slide-In Tour stop in my life at Sunday River Resort in 2022. I felt a little self-conscious at first, because the event is definitely designed for youngsters to get the chance to interact with some of the coolest people in snowboarding.
After I showed up, though, it turned out that I wasn’t the only old guy there. I had never sessioned a park feature with a crew of people before, and there we were, cheering on riders, skiers, and even one dude on a snowbike.
