February Snowboard Update
Wow, it’s been a BIG month for Snowboard. After a very slow start to the competition and travel season, the team has been playing catchup with competitions.
The Boardercross team attended a camp in Steamboat Springs where we had an excellent 5 days on the course. This came perfectly timed for the Para Team who then headed to Finland for a camp and some EuropaCup and World Cup competitions. Some notable results – Kate Delson took 2 first-place finishes in EuropaCup, Brenna Huckaby first place in 2 World Cups and Dennae Russell took two 3rd place finishes in World Cup. The para team has a quick break before heading off on their next round of competitions in Germany and Italy.
Sadly the streak of canceled events continues for the able-body SBX group but they are looking forward to the first NorAm of the season at Gore Mt., NY followed by Sunday River, ME.
Meanwhile, the Big Mountain crew have done a couple of comps – the Targhee National where Kaito got 1st and Gage got 4th. And locally Julia and Gio Piacenti took home first places in their first Big Mountain Freeride events.
