Bits and Pieces of Snowboarding News

Still no shredding in my world, but plenty going on elsewhere. Here’s a few things making news right now.

• As the Olympics approach, Canucks are cleaning up at the parallel giant slalom. Jasey-Jay Anderson took home the gold medal, and fellow Canadian Michael Lambert finished second to him. Details here.
• Canucks did not do so well in the superpipe, but Shaun White sure did. Story here.
• In Austria, a snowboarder almost dies after ducking the boundary lines in search of fresh pow. Story and photo here.
• Ross Rebagliati has a book! “Off the Chain, an Insider’s History of Snowboarding” is being promoted by Rebagliati now. Canadian Press has an interview with him here.

Happy weekend!
