Description

Seth Wescott, one of the world's top snowboarders and the first to win an Olympic medal in Turin in the new Olympic entry of snowboard cross (SBX), will join you for lunch.  Although he first made a name for himself with spectacular aerial acrobatics in the halfpipe, Wescott took up snowboard cross in 1997.  He is now the world champ at the sport, consisting of four riders executing moves such as whoops, waves, banks, spines and kickers in a NASCAR-like race to the finish.  Since 2000, Wescott has taken four U.S. national championships and is a seven-time SBX medalist at the X Games.  In 2005, he became SBX world champion, and at the 2006 Winter Olympics became the first winner ever of SBX Olympic gold.  Seth is featured in this month's men's Vogue magazine:
