TAMARACK, Idaho – Tamarack Resort is gearing up to host the greatest snowboard competition series, the 2006-07 Chevrolet U.S. Snowboard Grand Prix. On February 24-25, 2007, U.S. Olympic medalists and world-class snowboarders will go head-to-head at Tamarack on a mammoth 22-foot half pipe and on a specially-constructed snowboard cross course.
The Grand Prix series kicked off at Breckenridge Resort, CO December 14-16 with Olympic Gold Medalist Kelly Clark snagging the women’s halfpipe win, and Danny Davis tops in the men’s competition. The Series heads to Mt. Bachelor February 2-4, before concluding at Tamarack February 24-25.
