Shaun White, Kelly Clark top snowboarding halfpipe at Grand Prix Mammoth

The thirty-somethings with five Olympic medals between them held off the field to win gold at the U.S. Grand Prix snowboarding halfpipe competition in Mammoth Mountain, Calif.

Shaun White proved he’s back in winning shape after undergoing ankle surgery in the fall. Unable to put together a clean run at last weekend’s X Games, he finished 11th of 12 riders. White looked much more comfortable today at his home mountain of Mammoth, taking the Grand Prix title with a score of 94.75.

White, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, is looking to make his fourth Olympic team next year.
