Meet the author, Brian Knight, at the Vermont Ski and Snowboard Museum, as he presents his new book detailing the birth, growth and development of a new worldwide sport from humble beginnings in southern Vermont. Copies will be available to purchase and have signed. During the 1980s and 1990s, the "Manchester and the Mountains" area of Vermont was the epicenter of the fledgling sport of snowboarding. With the presence of Burton Snowboards, the U.S. Open Championships and one of the earliest machine-built halfpipes at Stratton Mountain, the local population led the vanguard as the sport ventured from the fringe to mainstream. Ranging from Olympic gold medalists to backhoe operators and converted skiers, locals contributed immensely to the development of the sport. Admission is free, donations are always appreciated!
