Red Bull Heavy Metal

Boston City Hall will be turned into a snowboarding park on Saturday, February 22nd when Red Bull Heavy Metal comes to town with some of the top snowboarders in the country competing.

Red Bull Heavy Metal is taking the world’s top street snowboarders from the mountains and bringing them to Boston for the first time ever, creating one of the most anticipated competitions on the snow 2025 calendar. Leading the talent pool is X Games Gold Medalist, Zeb Powell.  The competition will be held on Saturday, Feb 22, 2025 at City Hall Plaza from 2:30-6pmET, doors opening at 2pmET and spectating is free to the public.

The unique competition hosts top male and female riders while encouraging creativity and inventiveness on unforgiving features, such as rails, stairs and benches, that may look more at home in a skate park. The official mountain and parks partner, Loon Mountain, will be providing 300 tons of snow (20 truck loads) to ensure the conditions are perfect in the city.

The event will feature three differentiated competition zones, each highlighting different aspects of street snowboarding. Riders will tackle custom-designed rails, gaps, and creative features that will challenge even the most experienced snowboarders. More information about the three zones will be shared closer to the event.

The full list of confirmed riders will be announced at redbull.com/heavymetalbos in the coming weeks.
