 Shaun White Drops OUT of U.S. Open 2011
(more vids like this)
ESPN March 7, 2011 Two-time Olympic gold medal winner Shaun White will not compete at the U.S. Open Snowboarding Championships in Stratton, VT., this week, because he requires foot surgery.
The timing for the announcement is "unusual" says snowboard journalist and internet entrepreneur Lauren Traub Teton of SnowboardSecrets.TV and other sites. "Shaun is a hero of progression and the halfpipe, the idol who has brought snowboarding to the mainstream population. He has more to lose than gain competing in the Open, after winning it 3 times already and owning two Olympic Golds. We know that Shaun is out to win and if he can't be sure of a win, he would rather not play. We wish him successful recovery and look forward to seeing him fly high again on the boards soon! He is one of the most exciting snowboarders to watch ever" says Ms.Teton.

(more vids like this)
Spend 3 minutes at Mountain Creek with us and discover the secret halfpipe! Construction on the new base lodge for the Vernon Main base begins in March 2011. Let's ride the Terrain Park at South after dark, and find the runs you can have all to yourself. You can squeeze five solid hours of riding in without getting up early, missing work, or staying out late! After riding we hit the Vernon Diner and Pancake House, down past the South base in Mcafee for chicken marsala, a huge portion. We skip the fried oreos dessert. There's snow tubing at Mountain Creek too. Video by Lauren Traub Teton exclusive for SnowboardSecrets.TV |

The last time we partied at the main base at the Open it was for the Big Air Competitions like in 2007. See what fun we had at the 2007 US Open. I believe that was the first one Shaun White won and there was a super party that night that you'll see here.

The Superpipe at Bear Mountain, Killington, VT is being built before our eyes. Yesterday it wasn't even a halfpipe, just a little pile of snow. Today on January 2, 2011 the right wall is steep and taking shape.
Meanwhile, TWO new coffee places opened 3 weeks ago. One is the Vista View Deck, trailside on Great Eastern, and the other is Liquid Art on the Killington Road. We predict that both will be big winners!
