2015 BURTON US OPEN IN VAIL

March 1, 2015 by Hardbody Staff



The 2015 Burton US Open presented by MINI will be held in Vail, Colorado from
March 4-7th. Some of the world’s top snowboarders will be competing this weekend
at the 33rd annual US Open. This event features the men and women riders where
they will compete for the same prize money. Yes, the women will earn as much as

event in person or online for free.

PRESS RELEASE VIA BURTON
BURLINGTON, VT (February 18, 2015) – The Burton US Open presented by MINI
announces a world-class field of riders slated to compete in Vail, Colorado from
March 4–7th. Confirmed riders for this year’s event include 2015 X Games
gold medalists Danny Davis (USA), Mark McMorris (CAN), Chloe Kim (USA) and Silje
Norendal (NOR); four-time Olympian Kelly Clark (USA), 2015 Burton European Open
slopestyle gold medalist Stale Sandbech (NOR) and halfpipe Olympic silver
medalist Ayumu Hirano (JPN). As the grand finale of the competitive snowboarding
season, the legendary US Open gives riders one final chance to take home a major
title, and spectators get to watch all the action for FREE.

“The US Open is one of those events that everyone respects and looks forward
to,” says back-to- back defending US Open slopestyle winner Mark McMorris.
“There’s such good vibes and it really wraps up the year for me.”

The 33rd annual US Open kicks off on Wednesday, March 4th with men’s and
women’s slopestyle semi-finals featuring defending US Open champion Mark
McMorris (CAN), 2015 X Games silver medalist Stale Sandbech (NOR), Olympic gold
medalist Jamie Anderson (USA), 2014 Olympic silver medalist Enni Rukajärvi
(FIN) and 2015 X Games gold medalist Silje Norendal (NOR), along with Maxence
Parrot (CAN), Roope Tonteri (FIN) and Darcy Sharpe (CAN).

Next, the highly anticipated halfpipe semi-finals take place on Thursday, March
5th in Vail’s 22-foot superpipe featuring back-to-back X Games gold medalist
Danny Davis (USA) and seven-time US Open champion Kelly Clark (USA). Brothers
Ben and Gabe Ferguson (USA) as well as Olympic gold medalist Iouri Podladtchikov
(SUI) and Olympians Christian Haller (SUI), Ayumu Hirano (JPN) and Greg Bretz
(USA) are also set to compete in this legendary event steeped in snowboarding
history.

Kelly Clark is really looking forward to the Open and says, “The US Open is
one of the best events of the season—everyone has been riding all season and
they get to showcase their efforts. If there was ever was a peak in riding
during the year, it’s at the Open.”

Then on Friday and Saturday, it all comes down to the finals when 10 men and 6
women compete for equal prize money in slopestyle finals on March 6th followed
by halfpipe finals on March 7th.

In addition to world-class competition, there’s also plenty of action to enjoy
