RIP CURL STEW CONTEST DEETAGE

Story by: Matthew Piper

The sport of halfpipe snowboarding has come a long way since its inclusion in the Olympics in 1998, and no group of athletes has been more instrumental in its recent evolution than the 2010 U.S. Olympic Halfpipe Team, which met the press for its arrival conference in Vancouver on Thursday afternoon.

After a gold and silver in Torino, the U.S. Olympic Snowboardcross Team might well have a target on its back at Cypress Mountain. But so does everybody else in the daring sport that pits four boarders against each other on an obstacle-laden battle to the bottom.

The Boardroom W4th and Lonsdale locations will act as main pick up and drop off locations

The DC All-Nighter Greasebus will offer local snowboarders transportation to Grouse Mountain in Vancouver, Canada at no charge beginning this weekend.

The free shuttle service will begin at Friday, February 12th and run until Sunday, February 28th.
