2011 note from Darren:

The Bearclaw Invitational will be the most progressive slopestyle event of the year, and yes, you can count on the course being topnotch, since I'm the one building it. The course itself will have all the big obstacles the boys are used to and then some surprises thrown in as well, all built around a 4" to 6" travel bike. It will have a very authentic West Coast feel, since it's being built in the forest at Mount Washington. What's really rad is that this Bearclaw Invitational course will be permanent, so no more building and then tearing it down each Fall.

It's been 3 years since my last Bearclaw Invitational on Mount Washington. After a lot of demand I am proud to say that I am once again partnering up with the wicked staff and crew up there. I believe this is an opportune time to bring back my event. The plan will be to build a course amongst the trees. The forest is a mix of fir and alpine cedar, all with tons of lichen clinging to the branches making it a photographer's dream to shoot, and giving the contest a very distinct look.

The Invitational course will have a mixture of big mountain moves and new school moves with a ton of incorporation of the forest, such as tying the ladder bridges into the trees. Spectator visibility is a big factor for me as well, so rest assured that the spectator will be in for visual treat watching all of their favorite pros throw down on a course that I personally built.
