Bacca's athletes took advantage of the prowess of their Wax Tech to deliver on their end of the bargain by cleaning up in the Snowboard Cross event. Curtis' 3 athletes competing were Lindsey Jacobellis (2006 Olympic Silver Medalist), Nate Holland (5-time Winter X-Games Gold Medalist) and Seth Wescott (Olympic Gold Medalist). They came in 1st, 1st and 2nd respectively.

Sun Valley native, Graham Watanabe, was involved in a major crash with 4 of the 6 semi-finalists in his heat and didn't make it to the finals.

Editor Note: This is what ESPN had to say about Curtis Bacca...

...and all four of Holland's wins have been at least partly due to Curtis Bacca. Thanks to his success with Holland, as well as with Skier X champs like the Crist brothers, Bacca is widely considered the best in the business.

For the 2009/2010 season, Bacca will work with Wescott. He and Snowboarder X racer Lindsey Jacobellis are paying him out of their own pockets, rather than using the tech provided to them by the U.S. Team. Jacobellis says the only reason Wescott is letting her use Bacca too is because, "I'm not the competition."
