Extreme athletes are flying high at the Stratton Mountain Resort in Vermont where the U.S. Open Snowboarding Championship is taking place. The competition kicked off this morning with Session One, a best-of-two pre-qualification round in the 22" superpipe.
Snowboarding superstars Shaun White and Kelly Clark will both participate and likely perform to their sky-high statuses, impressing many and building highlight reels throughout the competiton.
However, Hannah Teter, a crowd favorite, will be grounded for the weekend. The 22-year-old Vermont native suffered a dislocated shoulder in a fall at the U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix last weekend, and will sit out for this time around.
40 thousand fans are expected to turn out over the four-day affair, and will not have to pay a cent in order to do so. Admission for all spectators is free.
