The final stop of the Burton open series kicked off last Wednesday. The Best snowboarders in the world meet at Vail Resort, CO to battle it out for the number one spot in snowboarding half pipe and slope style events. This stop of the last and championship stop bring a much higher level of compaction. Men's Slope style semi- finals took place the first day of the event, with a stacked list of competitors qualifying for finals on Friday March first. One of the biggest surprises in qualifiers was 14 year old Japanese rider Yuki Kadono qualifying third with a impressive score of 83.88. With no surprise in the top spot of qualifiers was Torstein Horgmo finding himself in the top spot, a position he is very used to by now. Horgmo just getting off the European open and placing first, took his runs with a lot of confidence finishing with the top score of 87.93.
