The Burton Am Series 2010 at Mt Hood Meadows last weekend was the first time this season that some Bend snowboarders had been in a pipe all year, but that didn't stop them from delivering runs that gave 2 riders qualifying spots in the US Open and some big bucks.
MtB athlete Jonny Malanga was throwing down the biggest airs in the pipe, but it was the young Ben Ferguson that took home the $750 first place finish and qualified for the Open.
12 ladies competed and it was MtB's own Katie Williams who took first in pipe, second in slope & best trick in slope, plus scored a spot to the US Open. Ashley Thornton took third place in both events and became $500 richer by the end of the weekend.
