TransWorld SNOWboarding Team Challenge @ Heavenly

By David LaPlante • on April 3, 2007

OK, so even tho’ I’m a skier, here’s a snowboarding event that I’m going to try to catch with some of the Twelve Horses crew. The TransWorld SNOWboarding Team Challenge is going down Thursday April 5 and Friday April 6 at Heavenly. Twenty of the best teams representing the best board companies in snowboarding will be fully in the mix with you and your crew. I’m thinking some of the Twelve Horses crew may be there and possibly competing in the “consumer” comp.

In years past, the Team Challenge hasnâ€™t been open to the public, but fresh for this year is the TransWorld Team Challenge Shootout, and an all-time consumer fair. Both events are taking place on Thursday from 3:30 to 9:00 p.m., at the base of the World Cup. Two person teams comprised of top professionals will be competing under the lights in a unique parkstyle event. There will be live DJâ€™s on hand keeping things properly jumping. Itâ€™ll be good. As mentioned, the Team Challenge Shootout will also sport a healthy twenty-tent sponsor village where youâ€™ll be able to get all hands on and geek out on all the latest and greatest gear the world of snowboarding has to offer, and maybe youâ€™ll even snag some prizes along the way.

Friday night at 10 p.m. you can party with all the riders at MontBleuâ€™s Club Blu and everyone is welcome.
