Shaun White and Vermont’s own Kelly Clark highlight the field for this weekend’s U.S. Open Snowboarding Championships at Stratton Mountain.
Up to 40,000 spectators are expected to turn out for the event Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
One crowd favorite who won’t be flying high is Hannah Teter. The 22-year-old Belmont native suffered a dislocated shoulder last weekend in a fall at the U-S Snowboarding Grand Prix at Killington, and is sitting this one out.
Doctors have told her not to ride for a couple of weeks.
