Check out SpiritHoods! I first found out about them when I competed in the Roxy Chicken Jam. They gave athletes a custom spirithood. I love spirithoods because they are fashionable and the company cares about animals. They donate a percentage of sales to endangered animals if you choose to purchase the spirithood that represents that animal!For example, for the snow leopard spirithood a percentage of the sale goes to helping endangered snow leopards. I am now an ambassador for Spirithoods and I am offering a discount to my friends! Enter in FURRY7 at checkout. I love animals and showing my love by repping my spirithood where ever I go!

Rockstar Throwdown and Ms Superpark!

On April 6th I competed in the Rockstar Throwback Throwdown at Breckenridge. The contest started in the 22ft halfpipe in freeway and then moved to a 5ft handbuilt halfpipe at the bottom of the mountain. I had a lot of fun hitting the mini pipe as it was challenging and had many interesting rail features incorporated. I ended up in 5th or 6th place and was stoked on landing my pipe runs.

I then headed to Ms Superpark April 23-28th! The jumps were really fun and I was stoked on the few good days of riding we got. I ended up getting a shot in the day 4 video at 1:17! Unfortunately they did not put my name on the shot and mistook me for someone else. I am stoked regardless!

U.S. GrandPrix and East Coast competitions

Last month I spent about three weeks traveling across the country for 4 major competitions. I started by going to the west to Aspen to compete on the X-games course for the Aspen Open. The wind was really bad so I only got through the course one time and ended up in 5th place.I was just excited to survive such a gnarly course.

After Aspen I flew to California to compete in the U.S. GrandPrix at Mammoth. The weather was really bad unfortunately for about 4 days until we finally got to compete when the sun came out. We only got about 30 minutes of practice due to course closures but I was proud of myself to get through the course and land both of my runs. The jumps were the biggest jumps I hit this season with the last jump sizing at about 80ft.

After GrandPrix was over I went up to Tahoe with Joanna and Elin to catch our flight the next morning to Vermont for the U.S. Open! I thought the U.S. Open course was fun and impressive for the little amount of snow that Vermont has had this season.

I ended up landing a run and missing semi-finals by only a few spots. This season I've been always a few spots out from semi-finals so I am motivated to work hard and learn better tricks this summer. During the course of the week I discovered that the U.S. Open Big air/rail jam was the exact same set-up as the NIKE Chosen. I really wanted to compete so I talked to the event organizers and Cilka Sadar ended up giving me her spot to compete. I was really happy to be able to compete in the event!

I ended up being the only girl to hit the jump during qualifiers. It was super fun to compete under the lights and in front of a big crowd. The speed was a bit tricky compared to the heavenly event and I had to tuck and straight-line just to clear the jump. I didn't walk away with any money but it was a great experience. The night ended with an epic Redman and Method Man concert.

After the U.S. Open at Stratton it was off to compete in the U.S. Revolution Tour at Mt.Snow. The course was a bit small because of all the snow melting and speed was hard to keep after the afternoon hit.

I ended up qualifying 5th for the finals and finishing at 4th. I was just a few points shy of the podium but was stoked on the way I rode. I am now ranked number 52 overall in the world and number 39 for slopestyle. My goal for next year is to be in the top 15 so I can get invited to the open events!

I got invited to ride in Snowboarder Magazine's Miss Super park which will now be held in Squaw Valley April 23-26th. I am super excited to go back to Tahoe as Squaw Valley is where I used to ride in the Spring Time. I will also be competing in the Rockstar Throwback Throwdown this week at Breckenridge.

Roxy Shooting Star contest winner Year 2!

I entered this years Roxy's Shooting Star video contest again and won for week 2! I filmed a lot with my friend Gabriele St-Georges and made a new edit with some new tricks. I am also competing in Aspen open this week. I went to practice today and the course was super tight, speed is a little difficult compared to last year but I think I can pull it off this sunday!

3rd place!!

I competed in the 4 star TTR Burton pro test rail jam this sunday and I got 3rd place! I also competed in the slopestyle event on Saturday but I got nervous and fell on my runs, I was landing everything in practice. I learned not to put too much pressure on myself! I was much more relaxed for the rail jam and just did some solid 50-50s on the kink and down flat rails to qualify for finals and podiumed for the first time in a while for a rail jam! I had a lot of fun and paul mitchell was giving out mustaches so I decided to rock the fake stache all day. I am excited for Aspen Open next week!

Nike Chosen Podium!

So I competed in the Burton Am on Saturday at Northstar for slopestyle. It turned out to be a railjam style contest in the Stash so I did not do so well,Rails are my weak point. However my friend Emily blewitt and Scottie williams who I had driven out with podiumed! After not making finals at the Burton Am I drove down to South lake tahoe to compete in the Nike chosen competition. When I got there I saw the massive gap jump that everyone had been talking about

I was a little nervous at first because I thought about what would happen if I were to come up short on the jump. Practice started and after watching the boys for speed I hit the jump and I felt comfortable because it was very smooth. As soon as the sun had went down, the Nike lights came on and qualifiers had begun. The competition only allowed 2 women into the finals and I had been chosen to be in the final after the qualifier! It was really exciting to ride in front of so many people at night time under the lights. Joanna Dzierzawski who I have known since I first started competing in tahoe also qualified for finals. She stepped up the competition by throwing her back 3 and landing it. I really wanted to spin too so I threw my front 3. I went too big the first time and fell but the second time I was able to grab it and land it. I was really pumped to have spun such a big and risky jump and land it. Transworld snowboarding captured a photo of it..

I ended up in second place and was really happy with the way I rode!

My team manager Barrett Christy was there supporting me the whole time, I couldn't have done it without her and my awesome GNU board! I am competing in the Burton AM at keystone this weekend and I think I can do well as it is my home mountain. I want to bring my best tricks that I have not thrown in competition before to try and podium!!

Northstar!

I have just arrived in Northstar. I packed my car full of 4 of my friends and 2 chihuahuas and headed west from colorado. I will be competing in the 4star TTR event Burton Pro Test. I also found out that I will be able to compete in tomorrow night's NIKE CHOSEN event at Heavenly! I am super excited as there is a big jump in it. HEre are some photos of my roadtrip and features I will be hitting.
