South Lake Tahoe's Jamie Anderson won her 10th X Games medal in Aspen, CO today, bringing home silver.
Anderson led the group of athletes in Snowboard Slopestyle through the first two rounds but failed to land cleanly on the last, allowing defending two time X Game Gold medalist Silje Norendal to win her third straight gold.
Today's event was Anderson's third straight X Game silver.
The Sierra-at-Tahoe snowboarder's medal count for X Games: 4 Gold, 4 Silver and 2 Bronze.
She fell during a practice round and had two solid runs on the course with a first round 90.66, 90.33 on second and a 36.33 on the final.
"Jamie's run was really sick," said one of the judges about Jamie's run. "Silje nailed the rails."
