SPY family and friends made the short trip up to Mountain High, Nov. 19, to kick-off the 2011-2012 winter season and its new partnership with the mountain.

Louie Vito signed with Red Bull, making him the team’s marquee halfpipe snowboarder. In his interview with ESPN.com, Louie talks about the elite Red Bull team, secret training facilities and branding his noggin.
