This past weekend Spy’s Louie Vito made his way onto the podium in two events, while only competing in one. Vito, while tied for the top spot in U.S. Grand Prix Series going into the final leg in Vermont this weekend, decided to forgo the Grand Prix event to represent the US Snowboarding Team World Cup in La Molina, Spain.

Vito started the day off well, qualifying for finals amongst the fierce competition of fellow US riders Steven Fisher, Scotty Lago, and Danny Kass. Vito finished the day strong and pushed ahead for the US, taking second place to Swiss rider Markus Keller with back-to-back 1080s, air, back five and landing a front nine. Coincidentally, Louie’s tie-partner for the Grand Prix, Steven Fisher, took third.

As for Louie and Steven missing the final Grand Prix event, all other competitors were so far behind in the numbers that even without competing, Louie remained tied for first, making this his second consecutive Grand Prix win!
