DANIEL EK TAKES 2ND IN US OPEN QUARTERPIPE

Stratton Mountain hosted the 29th Annual US Open Championships, and along with most other established (and not-so-established) competitive snowboarders, Forum sent some representatives of its own to put into the mix. One such competitor, Daniel Ek, happened to land himself a podium finish in Friday night's Quarterpipe event. A huge front 9, McTwist, Michaelchuck, and several large backside airs brought him into the number 2 position and a check for $5000.
