A new series premiered last night on National Geographic Channel presented by Chevrolet. The various episodes will feature venues throughout the Western Region.
When snowboarding’s super stars like Shaun White, Louis Vito and Danny Davis perform insane freestyle tricks in the halfpipe, it’s a soaring, exploding sight to behold. Chris “Gunny” Gunnarson and his crew at Snow Park Technologies are responsible for designing and building the progressive snow sport venues that allow the athletes to take flight. Chevrolet has teamed up with Gunny and his crew to go behind the scenes to show how these world-class, high-intensity snow competition courses are constructed.
Starting Thursday, May 9 at 8 p.m. PT/ET, Chevrolet presents Mountain Movers – NatGeo's new adrenaline-packed show. Working in the most outlying locations – many in the Western Region – under severe conditions, Gunny and his team battle avalanche control to building half pipes in blizzards. And Gunny and his team rely on their Chevy Silverado trucks through the journey. As Gunny explains: “Building snow parks is tricky business under the best of conditions. Mountain Movers is about taking on the big challenges and having the right tools to get the job done. I know Chevy trucks can handle the heavy duty work we do, and in the nastiest environments a mountain can offer because I use them every day.”
