Air + Style behind the scenes
Music, Snow, Fun
Shaun White combined music, snow and fun in last weekend's Air + Style concert/big air contest in Pasadena. In case you didn't know, White and Sarah Barthel, the lead singer of Phantogram, are dating. Isn't that cute? Here he takes his sweetie for a little tour of the big air jump.

Take me to church
A full day of music AND snowboarding? And the people rejoiced.

Diplo
Music was no sideshow at this competition. The light show at Diplo alone could have lit up the entire city of Pasadena

Riglets
Pros weren't the only snowboarders getting to ride snow in sunny SoCal last weekend. A mini patch for the mini shreds was set up in the vent to give the next generation a taste of the fun.

Drought Buster
Though it's bad form to complain about rain in a state that just entered it's fourth-consecutive year of drought, it was disappointing to see the Air + Style's first-ever ski competition get cut short due to a weather deluge. Here Bobby Brown sends it in the first and only round of Sunday's ski comp.

Raining Lips
Rain couldn't hold the Flaming Lips, or the band's fans, back from partying on down, however. Here the Lips keep it fun while looking out at the big air ramp that would never see an evening's competition on Sunday.
