LANDGRAAF, Nederlands — The Toyota U.S. Para Snowboard Team took on their first banked slalom World Cup of the season this week at the icebox in Landgraaf, Netherlands. American Noah Elliott dominated again for the men, finishing atop the podium two days in a row.

The women started the action on day one, where Darian Haynes (UL) finished fourth overall. Kate Delson (LL2) of Team Utah Snowboarding finished fifth, just missing out on finals.
