If you still have decent legs under you after hitting the slopes this weekend, stop by the Barn at Woodward at Copper on Sunday at 5 p.m. to get a session in with pro skateboarder Andy MacDonald. The Barn has a pretty sick wooden skate bowl in addition to all the foam pits, trampolines, and SnowFlex features in there for working on new snowboarding and skiing tricks, and MacDonald -- aka Andy Mac, an X Games competitor since 1995 who now has more medals than he can count on all his fingers and toes -- is one of the best guest coaches a skater on the come-up could hope for.

"Turns out Andy is way into snowboarding along with skateboarding (I know 'aren't we all'), so he's coming up to Copper for some shredding and we roped him into a clinic/jam session in the Barn's bowl," says Woodward at Copper spokeswoman Erica Pedersen. "The fun starts at 5:30 p.m. for registration, which is a whopping $5, and runs until 8:00 p.m. We have tons of prizes from Andy's sponsors which include Airwalk, Clif Bar, Bern Helmets, Positiv Skateboards, and Red Vines. Yeah, that's right I said Red Vines!"
