The 2008-09 contest season looks pretty loaded up and according to a story in the Sports Business Journal snowboarders are doing well at managing their schedules.
Prioritizing has become a key word for White and other snowboarders this winter. Ever since the Dew Tour announced plans to launch a three-stop winter series, agents, athletes and winter event organizers have wondered if the winter calendar could support the number of events planned for the 2008-09 season. Athlete participation is key to each event’s survival because only stars can generate the interest needed to draw people to the slopes or TV to watch.
Bob Klein, Andy Finch, Shaun White’s agent Mark Ervin, Chris Stiepock, and Hannah Teter are quoted.
