Kelly Clark flies at U.S. Grand Prix.
Here's a little preview of the action coming to the Winter X Games at Buttermilk this week!
See photos from our trip to the X Games last January.
From ESPN:
"There is no question Kelly Clark is currently the dominant force in women's halfpipe snowboarding. But at Winter X Aspen 2012 she won't just float her way to gold. She will have to earn it. More accurately, she will have to fend off a talented field of seven other women -- five who have each have a WX medal -- who are chomping to knock her off the top podium spot. Powerful, experienced competitors such as Gretchen Bleiler, Torah Bright, Maddy Schaffrick, and Kaitlyn Farrington will put down runs that will challenge to best Clark or wait for her to bobble one of her signature perfect runs to sneak past her."

Check back Thursday for photos from Out There's Christian Murdock, who'll be at Buttermilk off and on throughout the games.
