And now for something really different!
An off-road truck race like no other, Red Bull Frozen Rush will bring eight 900-horsepower Pro-4 trucks and the best drivers in the world including Red Bull athletes Ricky Johnson and Bryce Menzies to the slopes of Sunday River for a head-to-head race on snow for the first time ever. Eight teams will race over the slopes of South Ridge on a course built by Sunday River's terrain park crew that features slalom gates, berms and jumps, all while navigating the course at speeds up to 60 mph on one-of-a-kind spiked snow tires from BFGoodrich. Frozen Rush will be featured on TV on the Red Bull Signature Series on NBC at 3pm before the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 2. Learn more at RedBull.com/FrozenRush.
Event Schedule
Spectating
Spectator access to watch Frozen Rush will be free and all Frozen Rush events will be based at South Ridge Lodge and on the slopes just uphill on the Lower Lazy River, Mixing Bowl and Broadway trails. Free parking is available in several lots at the base of the resort, with shuttles running between all parking lots, lodging properties, and the South Ridge Lodge. Race pits are located at Barker Mountain Lodge and will be open to spectators at select times, with shuttle service available from South Ridge. Spectators will be able to access the Frozen Rush course on foot by walking uphill from South Ridge Lodge along a marked spectator path to a large viewing area with two jumbotron TVs next to the course. The spectator area will have views of the start, finish, jumps, berms, and more.
In front of the South Ridge Lodge will be race headquarters under a large Red Bull tent open Thursday and Friday, which will also host a poster signing following the conclusion of the race. Inside the South Ridge Lodge are restrooms, retail stores, a food court, seating areas, bag storage, a pub, first aid, and other services.
