Submitted by paula on Sun, 11/27/2016 - 10:21pm
As one of the most decorated athletes in snowboarding, Olympic Gold Medalist, Jamie Anderson has competed in almost every Dew Tour since the event started in 2008. Now, at the age of 26, Jamie has literally has grown up with the contest and looks forward to the event each year as the first major slopestyle contest to kick off her season.
Jamie has consistently topped Dew Tour podiums with her fierce, undeniable style and explosive tricks landed with supreme confidence. Last year, Jamie had her sights set-on securing a four-peat in slopestyle, but sustained a collarbone injury in practice that sidelined her from the event. Despite being unable to complete, Jamie now uses the experience as fuel for this year’s contest. She’s fired up and ready to get back on top and in first place.
I caught up with Jamie while she was in Tahoe and chatted about all things Dew Tour and beyond.
Watch Jamie Anderson in both the Dew Tour Pro Competition two-part Slopestyle December 8–11 in Breckenridge, Colorado.
