Copper to Host Grand Prix

PRESS RELEASE

Kelly Clark claimed the top spot at the first Olympic qualifying event this season - the US Snowboarding Grand Prix at Copper.  Kelly put down a huge first run of frontside air, backside five, frontside 900, backside air, frontside 700, cab 7.

Clark said, "I was really happy with my first run. I've been working really hard on the fitness side of things and really preparing for this season mentally and physically every way I can. I feel like at this point in the season I'm riding better than I ever have."

Gretchen Bleiler, who had some trouble on her first run, pulled it together on her second to take the second spot. American snowboarders are battling out for a spot on the US Olympic team. The five Grand Prix events will serve as qualifiers.

Season passes can be a big investment. While some resorts sell them for a couple hundred dollars others go for ten times that. One way to save money is to buy your pass early. Many resorts offer big discounts if you purchase your pass before the end of the season. As a bonus many even let you use it for the remainder of the season!

This season there are some especially good early bird deals to be had.
