Maybe you've spotted the occasional Alpine Carver out at your local ski hill. They use narrow boards, they go fast, and they turn with purpose. But, as David Redman told us, "They're kind of the lone wolfs out at their ski areas." That's why, every year, Redman organizes the Montucky Clear CUT at Montana's Tuner Mountain.  

Tuner Mountain, where Redman grew up snowboarding, is a not for profit, all volunteer managed and operated ski hill. In 2019 he launched the Montucky Clear CUT event to support the mountain, boost tourism in the local community of Libby, and promote the sport of Alpine Carving. 100% of registration dollars go directly to Turner Mountain, and the money raised from the sponsor raffle is donated to the volunteer ski patrol. In return, the alpine carvers get the whole mountain - all 2,110 vertical feet of it - to themselves for 4 days. The MCC is now the largest fundraising event that supports Turner Mountain and Libby, and, as Redman told us, "With this event, we are able to get (Alpine Carvers) here into the wolf pack." 

Montucky Clear CUT stands for: 

• Montucky  = Beautiful North West Montana
• Clear = Clear slopes! Not many people, just carvers and their friends/family. No Passing (so you do not have to worry about getting hit from behind. With the entire ski area, this is a carver exclusive event, not open to general public)
• CUT = Carving Up Turner
