The Vans Triple Crown of Snowboarding will head to Snow Summit, CA for its second leg at the 2001 Vans Championships on February 14-18. The Vans Triple Crown of Snowboarding is one of the seven Vans Triple Crown Series in as many sports. Points are tabulated from the top three Snowboarding events of the season, including the competitions at Breckenridge, CO, Snow Summit, CA and Sierra at Tahoe, CA and the winner is crowned at the final event.
Participants earn points from their highest scoring discipline at each of the three events.
The winner in the men's division will receive a 2001 Ford Ranger and the winner of the women's division will receive a trip for two to the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing in Hawaii. The 1999 Vans Triple Crown of Snowboarding Champions Ross Powers and Ine Poetzl will be gearing up to defend their titles against a stacked field of competitors in the 2001 season. Inc.
