Upcoming 2006 Snowboarding Events To Watch For

You don’t have to go to Italy to see world-class snowboarding this winter. There are plenty of comps coming to resorts near you. So grab a slice of pizza and support your local shredders and pros! Prego!

It’s about that time—time to endure the onslaught of cheesy Olympic stories so we can watch our favorite kick-ass riders duke it out on the world’s stage. But while you’re waiting to see how the likes of Shaun White and Co. fare against the rest of the world, there’s plenty of State-side action to get your fix. Flip on the Olympics to see what the big guns throw down and then head to the slopes to see the real thing. After the X-Games finish up in late January, the USASA has tons of comps going on all over the country—from Maine to Alaska. So if you don’t have a few Gs lying around the house for a flight to Italy, hop in the Winnebago and check out a local comp. Grazie!
