FINCH TAKES SNOWBOARD GRAND PRIX |
10 February 2004 |

The drama was set as Finch notched a first run score of 45.5 to lead Ross "The Boss" Powers by .8 into the second run. Finch then fell in his second run, leaving the door to the Chevy wide open for Powers, who upped his score to 44.1, but fell just .4 points short of the $10,000 first prize.
"I had a lot of fun at this contest and it's nice to be home on the East Coast," said the recent Mammoth Lakes, Ca transplant, whose mom cheered her to victory. "I love having my parents get the chance to come and watch me because I always call them and tell them what I'm doing, but it's great when they can be here and be a part of it." With Clark's big firstrun score on the board, all eyes focused on Grand Prix superstar Hannah Teter, who needed a huge second run, after falling on a difficult frontside 900 to McTwist combo, to complete the 2004 series sweep. Not known to back down, Teter went for the same combo and missed, ending the night in fifth. But she didn't go home empty handed as the 17-year-old was awarded the women's overall title and a Chevrolet Colorado. "God works in wierd ways..."

"I
came out here tonight with a positive attitude, it was a good pipe
and Finch and I were ready battle," said Powers. "We both
threw down and I'm just glad to be up on the podium."
