SCOTTY & OTHERS ARRIVE AT MAMMOTH

Olympic Snowboarders in Mammoth - January 4-10, 2010

The 2010 US Snowboarding Grand Prix will make three stops in its 14th season. A total of five Olympic qualification competitions will take place before the tour will announce the 2010 Olympic halfpipe team.

After hosting the first Olympic snowboard team announcement in 1998, Mammoth is proud to host the second stop of the three-stop USSA Grand Prix of Snowboarding tour, January 7-10, 2010.

With two, separate half pipe competitions during four days, spectators will see some of the most talented snowboarders in the world fighting it out for a spot on the 2010 Olympic halfpipe team.

In addition to hosting the halfpipe competitions, Mammoth will also hold a slopestyle event where athletes will show off their style on the kickers and course features.

The only resort in North America to offer three different-sized halfpipes, athletes will compete on Mammoth's 22-foot super pipe for a chance to qualify for a spot in the reduced field at the final tour stop where the Olympic team will be named. Come up and witness history in the making and some epic parties!
