Everyone at our ski shop in Manchester, NH have been on the edge of our seats, white knuckled, and seething to know which of our favorite snowboarders will be representing the U.S. in this year's Winter Olympic Games. And now, at long last, the team has come together. Just announced yesterday, the U.S. Snowboarding Team is made up of a collection of past Olympians, World Cup champions, and even some rookies.

It goes without saying that skiing and snowboarding have become integral parts of American culture. Of course skiing has been part of the American lexicon basically since snow first hit the ground. Its roots can be traced back thousands of years and across countless cultures all over the world. And, more recently, within the past few decades, snowboarding has found its rightful place in the American mainstream’s consciousness. So much so that it’s become part of the Olympic Games. Even now, in the upcoming 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, a new, “slopestyle,” competition has been added to the snowboarding Olympic events.
