The Launch 2010 presented by Rip Curl is now under way at Keystone, CO. Day 1 went off with less than desirable conditions with snow & wind, then sun, and then snow again. It was a roller coaster day, but these riders are hyped and charging no mater what the condition. Check out the photo gallery by Photo Editor Ryan Hughes, and Senior Photographer E-Stone. Pat Bridges gives the days run down with the photo captions.
