The most prestigious and coveted award in all of snowboarding is NOT a gold medal from the Olympics, it is the legendary gold roll of duct tape given to the winner annually of the Mt. Baker Banked Slalom. The best riders from all over the world come out of the wood work to test themselves on Mt. Baker’s epic terrain, but it is much much more than just a contest, it is a gathering of the tribe of snowboarding, a hallowed event that is a rite of passage for core snowboarders around the globe. The LBS is shrouded in legends but none more than that of Terje Haakonsen. Terje is almost synonymous with tall tales and epic stories of races past and no one has won the race more times or added to the mystique than him.
