Yesterday was a big day for Seth and the rest of the US Snowboard Team -the first official day of the World Cup season, and the start of the road to Vancouver. Riders took qualifying runs on the freshly built course in Argentina, and Seth emerged at the end of the day in second place, just behind Pierre Vaultier, and one spot ahead of last year's World Cup champ Markus Schairer.
He was the top American, and had the fastest second run in the field. An auspicious start to the season to be sure, but the real test will be in the actual race today. For the most up to date results check out
