 NEWS: 3-26-07

Tanner Rainville is no stranger to freeskiing's Vermont Open, nor is he a stranger to the podium. Once again the Vermont Open, now 4 years deep, played host to one of the most extensive fields of competitive freeskiing. Amid the warm, sloppy, spring conditions Vermont native Tanner Rainville managed to pocket a good chunk of change as he won both the Big Air and Superpipe Comps and put down 2nd in the Slopestyle.
 
At Friday night's inaugural invite only Big Air Comp Tanner stomped his way into 1st by throwing a super smooth switch mute to true tail 900. In Saturday's Slopestyle Finals Tanner reminded all that his all-around park skills are 'on point' as he walked away with
2nd place. And, as if he hadn't delivered enough for the weekend, Tanner once again stepped to the top of the podium as he snatched up another first, this time in Sunday's Superpipe Competition.
 
Congrats Tanner!! Great to see that genuine talent and style are still being recognized at freeskiing's big events.
 
(sorry, we don't have any pics or photos from this past weekend's events at this time.)
