U.S. Snowboarding announced that the Grand Prix stops leading up to the 2010 Olympic games have been finalized for Copper Mountain, Colorado, Mammoth Mountain, California, and Park City, Utah.
The Schedule will be as follows:
Dec. 11-12, 2009, Copper Mountain
Jan. 6-10, 2010, Mammoth Mountain
Jan. 22-23, 2010, Park City Mountain Resort
According to the release:
The Grand Prix series, which will feature 22-foot halfpipes at each of its venues, will narrow down the competition for Olympic spots through its first two tour stops and solidify the 2010 team at the final event in Park City.
“Copper, Mammoth and Park City are all classic Grand Prix sites and will provide a most fitting stage on which to name the Olympic halfpipe team for 2010,” said Grand Prix Tour Director Eric Webster. “Copper, Mammoth and Park City all have a proven track record in hosting world class snowboard events, which lends confidence to the riders and coaches in a season with so much on the line.”
NBC, the Olympic network, and Versus will broadcast the competitions. Go211.com will webcast the Grand Prix live from each stop.
