The start lists are set for the 2014 U.S. Grand Prix in Breckenridge, Colorado. Twenty-four women will compete in the Women’s Snowboarding Halfpipe. Some of the biggest names in women’s snowboarding are scheduled to compete. Kelly Clark took the top spot on the podium at the first stop on the tour. Look for Arielle Gold, Gretchen Bleiler and Chloe Kim to give her a run for the top spot. If Elena Hight can put down a solid run in the finals, she could be a threat but has struggled to find the podium in recent events. Hanah Teter is a name you might recognize, she was the gold medal in the 2006 Olympic Games.
