Deck The Walls event brings mountain fun to the City of Bend

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- The first ever Deck the Walls Event took place on Saturday with hundreds of people in attendance.

Outside of Bend Brewing Co. the skiing and snowboarding competition brought the community together and brought snow with them.

The Snow the riders are riding on is fresh snow brought from Mount Bachelor. The excitement is palpable.

Packy Deenihan, the owner of Bend Brewing Co, told KTVZ News, "I think everybody's really anxious to see some snow and see a snowboard and ski event. This morning when the snow got dropped off, there was like 30 people who just showed up with shovels ready to work. It was really cool to see the community come together and, you know, just all manpower brought the snow down here and shaped everything. it's been really cool.”

The event had incredible tricks, an amazing atmosphere, and all family fun.

This was the first time many of the 25 local riders were on snow since last season.
