Taos Adds Snowboarding To Freeride Champs
11 Feb 2008 By Becky Lomax
Taos will be throwing its doors open to snowboarders Mar. 19. But some of the world's best riders can get a jumpstart at Taos during the Salomon Extreme Freeride Championships. The event scheduled for Mar. 6– 8 has added a snowboarding division.
"Including snowboarding was a no-brainer," says Chief of Race Tom Winter. Event organizers are accepting applications from snowboard athletes to compete this year. "This is not an entry-level event," adds Winter. "The consequences of a mistake on many of the venues are huge, and it's important that athletes who wish to compete in the snowboard division during this inaugural year have solid resumes."
