Snowboarding’s best will once again descend upon The Fillmore in Denver, Colorado, for snowboarding’s biggest night of the year — the TransWorld SNOWboarding Riders’ Poll Award Show, presented by New Era. The 12th annual red carpet event brings the top snowboarding pros together for one night to celebrate the year’s most outstanding riders.
The 2011 TransWorld SNOWboarding Riders’ Poll Award Show will be held on Friday, January 28, the second night of the SnowSports Industries America (SIA) trade show. Doors to the Fillmore open at 7:00 p.m., with the award show starting at 8:00 p.m.
“The Riders’ Poll is a chance to step back from the grind and celebrate snowboarding’s top riders and their achievements over the past year. It’s an opportunity for them to get much-deserved recognition from their fellow riders.” –Annie Fast, Editor-In-Chief, TransWorld SNOWboarding
The award winners are voted on by pro riders in each of the seven categories, including Men’s Rider Of The Year, Women’s Rider Of The Year, Rookie Of The Year, Men’s Video Part Of The Year, Women’s Video Part Of The Year, Video Of The Year, and Standout Of The Year. The show also features a Readers’ Choice award for both men and women, voted on by TWS readers.
