The North Face Masters -- Stop #1 at Snowbird, UT
The first stop of the 3rd annual The North Face Masters freeride snowboarding tour went down this past Saturday, Sunday and Monday at Snowbird, UT. With over 70in of snowfall the previous week and two weather days already burned, Monday was the day for the 75 men and 27 ladies to go after the 45k purse, bragging rights and grand prize Samurai Katana. An impressive athlete roster, from Travis Rice to Rob Kingwill showed up and did not disappoint, with Mark Carter taking first for the men and Shannan Yates swinging the sword for the ladies. A great day, a great event. The ‘Bird is the word. Believe it.
Registration is open for the upcoming Crystal, WA and Kirkwood, CA tour stops. Check www.thenorthfacemasters.com for more info.
