ZHANGJIAKOU, China – Could the dry mountains of China provide the best snowboarding courses ever in the Olympics? Nelson Wormstead thinks it’s possible. The English speaking in-venue announcer for snowboard and free ski events at Genting Snow Park has experience announcing events all over the USA: the Burton US Open, Grand Prix and World Cup events and the X Games. The Portsmouth, New Hampshire native, and former snowboarder, said the course stands out already, days before competition begins for the Winter Games. “The course here is very challenging. It’s immaculate. It’s one of the best courses that’s ever been built – ever,” said Wormstead. “And they’re really excited about it. We talked to some athletes yesterday so they were hyped.” Fans watching on TV will be looking for the crazy spins – the bigger the spins, the higher they go – but to be here in person is really to see the layout of the course.
