I am so excited to announce that I won the first stop of the Freeride World Tour in Mammoth, CA. The competition was incredible. Skiers were invited from around the world to create a competition of the highest caliber. The women were amazing the men the were ridiculous (80 foot cliff drops all day long). The competition took place on "OH Shit" ridge in Mammoth. After trying for four days to get the competition off, it finally happened on Friday. The mountain had received at least two feet of fresh powder, which was perfect for the "huck-fest" that occured.
The women were impressive, jumping off 20 foot cliff-drops with no hestitation. I chose to ski fast and fluid. My first run included two straight lines and my second run was comprised of powder skiing and two 15 foot airs. The american men represented the US well. Drew Tabke and Craig Garbriel lead the men finishing 4th and 5th.
The next stop of the tour is in Sochi, Russia. For more imformation about the tour check out: www.freerideworldtour.com
Happy Skiing! Jess
