Sprint US Snowboarding Grand Prix at Mammoth Mountain

Mammoth Mountain reports that the 2011 Sprint US Snowboarding Grand Prix, the longest running domestic snowboard tour, will stop at Mammoth from Thursday to Saturday.

The riders will take to the half pipe on Saturday and then unleash their slopestyle skills in the Unbound Terrain Park in the final Paul Mitchell Progression Session of the season. 

Riders include 2010 US Olympic Team members Louie Vito, Greg Bretz, Kelly Clark and Gretchen Bleiler - they'll go big trying to get a piece of the almost $200,000 prize purse.

Last season it was all about the double cork - check out the Grand Prix this season to see how snowboarding will progress in 2011!
