This method is called aerotowing and is similar to the vehicle tow but uses flight rather than drive. With these alternative tow methods, hangliding has not only expanded to a wider range of people, but also to a much more varied terrain. Cerise headed for U.S. snowboard championships at Mt. Snow by Ken Loeber Snowboarding has not been around as a sport for long, and it is often chastised as skiing's little brother with backwards baseball cap and droopy pants, but it is allowing Lake County High School sophomore Jason Cerise the chance to see the east coast. Cerise, the son of Dave and Carla Cerise, qualified for the national snowboard competition in Mt. Snow, New Hampshire. Cerise made the finals during the Copper Mountain series in competitions which consist of the top three people in each division going to Mt. Snow.
Most states have one or two divisions.
Although there are five different events to enter, Cerise scored big in the junior boarder-x event, which sees five or six people going off jumps and around gates all at the same time. Cerise could be competing against 40-100 people. I'm pretty pumped. I'll really be by myself for the first time and be able to do and see things. Cerise practices at Copper Mountain and other area ski resorts every weekend and sometimes during the middle of the week.
