Calling all groms! Join us in the park to hone your skills and cheer on your fellow shredders in a friendly and fun environment. Grom skiers and riders (13 years & under) are invited to get a feel for park riding and experience the rules and navigation of the park.

Mini Shred Madness is returning with a new set of superlatives and an expanded raffle, open to all participants. Plus, learn some tips and tricks from members of our Park Crew and Mountain Sports Instructors during our hour-long clinic to start the day. All participants will go home with an exclusive Pico Parks sticker and the opportunity to learn from and show off for some of the best local riders around.

Make sure to set aside your favorite outfit for this one, as Best Dressed will be going home with a special prize! Whether it's a full costume or your go-to park kit, our judges will be picking out their favorite one during the day.

This year's event will take place at the Pico Hike Park at the base of Exhibition. A valid lift ticket will not be required to participate or spectate the event.
