Snow Bowl 2026

Snow Bowl is a quad and inline pool competition held at City Heights Skatepark in San Diego, California. There were nine skaters competing between both quad and inline that travelled from as far as New York and the San Francisco Bay Area and as close as down the street. Our main goal was to bring two communities together, as well as strengthen the community of skaters in the greater San Diego area. We wanted to create a competition that was fun but challenging, hoping to push skaters out of their comfort zones. We noticed a lack of community in San Diego and realized not a lot of events were happening down here, so we thought up Snow Bowl—we figure if you want to see a change in your community you have to be the change. If we want our industries and communities to grow, we have to put the effort in to showing up and being present. Although it is a competition, our main goal was to have fun and show everyone that we can support each other’s communities—when one of us wins, we all do. Just the fact that this competition was able to happen so successfully was a win in our books. Photos by Steve Steinmetz and Wesley Chmielowski.
