Compared to the Olympics, where everything is under the control of a ski federation, the Open has been run by snowboarders, for snowboarders since 1982. It is snowboarding&#8217;s oldest active competition, and year after year, it&#8217;s the home of the sport&#8217;s most progressive riding. This week at Stratton, five out of the six 2010 Olympic halfpipe medalists, including <strong>Shaun White<\/strong>, <strong>Peetu Piiroinen<\/strong>, <strong>Scotty Lago<\/strong>, <strong>Hannah Teter<\/strong>, and <strong>Kelly Clark<\/strong> are slated to compete.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s good to know that Jake still likes his event.
