Former Slalom Bronze medalist at the USASA National Championships, Andrew Poladian, has come out of retirement to dominate the Open Class Alpine Events. Poladian racked up three Gold medals this weekend (2 in Giant Slalom & 1 in Slalom) on his 1st weekend racing since his decision to return to USA Snowboard competitions. Hard work, his new house and preparing athletes for the future are Andrew's focuses as we move through another Olympic year.
We had another great CMS weekend with an even larger number of competitiors than the week before and with the strongest showing of skiers yet. The first day at Windham Mountain brought blue skies and sunshine but also a very long day on the hill due to the first Giant Slalom competition of the season and a very popular Slopestyle contest. On Sunday at Catamount we were lucky not to get rained out and were able to host two alpine races and the second Halfpipe of the season.
U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association announced the 2010 Olympic Snowboarding Team Monday.
The team is full of talented riders that have past Olympic experience
and then some new members making their Olympic debut. The rooster is
made up of 18 athletes that will compete in 3 different disciplines
that will be held at Cypress Mountain in Vancouver.
Fresh on the heels of the Red Bull Future of Snowboarding event in NYC this past weekend, the CMS crew wrapped up their alpine events for the season and logged another round in Halfpipe competitions.
Despite a cold, dreary start to the day with slight rain and heavy winds, the Slalom event at Hunter Mountain on Sunday went off without a hitch. This ends the battle for the CMS tour leader spots in both the slalom and giant slalom events, and names the athletes for the CMS National Alpine Team.
