Mark Kelsic and Izzy Lalive take first place finishes at the TransAM that almost wasn't in Winter Park, Colorado.

Winds of up to 106 mph and heavy snowfalls the day before the event created stupid road conditions closing both I-70 and Berthoud Pass (i.e. the roads to Winter Park). Avalanche danger was high, travelers were stranded ... it was a mess.

But the power switch was flipped and the TransAM was underway.

A big thanks to the event's sponsors: Oakley, DaKine, Ride, Freebord, Zumiez and Allyance; Winter Park, and of course Kid the most famous horse in snowboarding. The top three riders qualified for the finals at Northstar and are one step closer to winning a trip to the TransWorld Team Challenge and to High Cascade Snowboard Camp this summer. We'll see you March 11 at Mountain Creek, New Jersey at the next stop of the TransAM Series. Go to www.highcascade.com for online registration.
