This post is a little late, but Winter Racks, and Battle for Burlington have teamed up to bring four competitions over the winter of 2010.  The Battle for Burlington is best described by their website:

The Battle for Burlington is a grassroots event series created by two riders who recognized that no events existed which catered to the heavily involved youth and collegiate snow sports culture. The events are developed in partnership with sponsors and local Ski & Ride clubs. The Battle for Burlington produces events that gives talented riders a fun, safe, and energetic venue in which to showcase their talents in front of family, friends, peers, and spectators. Our event coordinators résumé experience includes working with Burton Snowboards, RED Protection, Anon Optics, Jay Peak Resort, Bolton Valley Resort, Fuse Sports Marketing.

So with that being said we were unable to attend the first event at Stowe on January 30th, but made the second event at Bolton Valley on February 20th for the High school showdown.  Unfortunately for us the weather didn’t quite cooperate and what had been a great snowy day turned into a slight drizzle, that left a thin coat of ice on our clothes.  It however failed to dampen spirits, and it was fantastic watching some of the best high school ski and snowboarders out there, throwing down on the rail jam.

I was going to post pictures of the event but it won’t let me so stay tuned!

Next Event is March 13th at Sugarbush Ski Resort.

Update:  I just figured out how to post pictures, so here is one from the event, not much, but I plan to have way more from Sugarbush.
