Baumgartner begins season
MONTAFON, Austria — Iron River’s Nick Baumgartner has begun another season of World Cup snowboardcross racing.
Baumgartner, a two-time Winter Olympian and US snowboardcross team member since 2005, placed 26th and 12th in last week’s races at Montafon.
“We just finished a very solid two-week block of training in Pitztal, Austria, leading up to this first World Cup,” said US Snowboardcross Coach Peter Foley. “The athletes are really excited to finally get in the start gate and see what they can do against the rest of the world.”
