Snoqualmie Pass, Wash. January 8th, 2010– Thousands of spectators are expected to turn out for the first ever U.S. edition of the Ride Shakedown snowboarding competition, happening March 12th and 13th, 2010 at Summit West.

In what has grown to be Canada’s largest and arguably most popular snowboarding event, the Ride Shakedown attracts international snowboarding talent hoping to showcase their abilities in the event’s signature thrill-a-minute format. With $35,000 in prize money for the top performers, the U.S. stop looks to continue the trend while putting a unique northwest spin to it. Among the competitors will be Seattle-based Ride Snowboard and Summit at Snoqualmie team rider Austin Hironaka.

“This is a great two days of music, entertainment and top level riding,” said Krush Kulesza, youth marketing manager for The Summit. “Whether you come as a competitor or a guest, you’re going to have a great experience.”
