Red Bull’s partnered with Oakley to build a secret half-pipe behind Colorado’s Silverton Mountain — all so snowboarder Shaun White can have somewhere to train. (Okay, okay, it’s not just for Shaun White.)

The space is closed off to the public and can only be accessed by snowmobile or hellie. Word has it the thing cost $500,000 to build.

Just goes to show — brand love pays dividends as long as you stay away from other kinds of pipes.
