Waterville Valley, New Hampshire -Saturday March 22, 2003 Red Bull Schooled welcomed teams from eight snowboarding schools across the US to compete in a shapely superpipe positioned in the center of Waterville Valley Resort. Ranging in age from 12 to 18, the most talented young riders came together to enjoy a day of friendly competition, snowball fights and sloppy joes. As Pat Bridges (Snowboarder Magazine) so aptly put it "If they'd had an event like this when I was in high school, I'd have a diploma instead of a G.E.D." Although the competitors were young in age, the level of athletic ability was purely top notch and a sign of things to come. Sixteen-year-old Hannah Teter of Belmont, VT recently placed 1st in the World Cup (Japan) and won Best Overall Female in the US Open of Snowboarding. Twelve-year-old Luke Mitrani of Stratton, VT is USASA National Champion (half pipe/slope). Luke's father said that he was happy be at such a low stress event, able to just have fun and ride with his friends.  Click here to view last years results Click here to view last years pictures
