Jamie Anderson makes Winter Dew Tour history

Perfect weather created the ideal situation for the Women’s Slopestyle Final at the Dew Tour’s Breckenridge stop but unfortunately many of the ladies struggled to put together solid runs.

The exception was Jamie Anderson who set a record on the slope. Out of the six competitors in the female Slopestyle Final only Jamie landed a full a run, and with the exception of Sarka Panc, she literally blew away the competition. Most impressively Jamie’s record breaking score of 92.00 more than doubled half of her peers scores. Not only was Jamie’s first run a Dew Tour record, but her second was the day’s third best (behind Sarka’s 2nd place run).

Winter X 13 Results – Women’s Ski Snowboard

It was lucky 13 for these ladies:

Women’s SNB X: Lindsey Jacobellis ran away with her second straight snowboarder X crown, no one even near her at the finish. In a light snow, she streaked to a 25-yard victory with Helene Olafsen taking second and Sandra Frei finishing third.

Women’s SNB: Slopestyle: A jubilant Jenny Jones could hardly believe what she had just accomplished in the Women’s Snowboard Slopestyle. The pride of Great Britain trailed Spencer O’Brien going into the final run and knew she had to do something big to steal the top spot. And Jones did just that, sticking a front-side 720 off the money booter final ramp to steal the victory and the gold medal from O’Brien, 90.00 to 87.66.

Slopestyle SNB Official Results  – Jan. 24, 2009
1. Jenny Jones  Bristol, Great Britain 90.00
2. Spencer O’Brien  Whistler, B.C., Canada 87.66
3. Megan Ginter  Seattle, Wash. 82.00

Women’s Slopestyle Ski: Anna Segal led off the Women’s Slopestyle Skiing contest Saturday at Winter X Games 13 in Aspen with a score of 85.00. Little did she know at the time, but that would be the best score of the day as she battled the course and the elements taking the gold in the inaugural event.  In the same event, Sarah Burke came up short on her landing during the last jump and was whisked to an awaiting ambulance. Diagnosis: Compression fracture to part of her lower back.

Slopestyle Ski Official Results  – Jan. 24, 2009
1. Anna Segal  Melbourne, Australia 85.00
2. Grete Eliassen Salt Lake City, Utah 79.00
3. Kaya Turski Montreal, QB, Canada 70.00

Women’s SNB Superpipe: Throughout Winter X 13, the Women’s Snowboard SuperPipe belonged to Australian rider Torah Bright.  In the elimination round Bright set a Winter X Games scoring record of 97.66, and although she was not able to equal that mark, her score of 91.33, which reflected an awesome McTwist, was enough to secure her the gold medal on Friday over silver medalist Kelly Clark. It was the second X Games gold of Bright’s career, following silver in 2008. Last year’s winner, Aspen native Gretchen Bleiler, had to withdraw from the competition after falling hard in her second of three runs.

SNB Superpipe Official Results -  Jan. 23, 2009
1. Torah Bright  Cooma, Australia 91.33
2. Kelly Clark  Mount Snow, Vt. 88.33
3. Hannah Teter  Belmont, Vt. 83.00

Women’s Ski Superpipe: A wet, heavy snow fell throughout the day Friday on Buttermilk Mountain, slowing down most of the SuperPipe competitors, but not Sarah Burke as she grabbed her third consecutive gold medal in the Women’s Skiing SuperPipe final at Winter X Games 13.

Ski Superpipe Official Results  – January 23, 2009
1. Sarah Burke  Whistler, BC, Canada 93.33
2. Jen Hudak  Aspen, Colo. 92.66

Snowboarder Jenny Jones takes Japan

March 1, 2008 - Great Britain’s Jenny Jones currently sits atop of the Burton Global Open Series Standings after winning the ParkStyle comp at the Nissan X-Trail Nippon Open. Jenny won $15,000 with a slick 50-50 gap to 50-50 Boardslide to fakie off the box, a big cab 540 off the 50 foot kicker and a huge frontside air off the hip.

The five star Swatch TTR event held in Bandai, Japan, was rescheduled due to heavy snow. The event features some of the world’s best amateur and professional snowboarders duking it out in the best halfpipe in Japan. American Jamie Anderson came second – holding onto her current TTR number one standings. Third place went to Japanese rider Izumi Amaike.

Kelly Clark wins 2008 BEO Women’s Halfpipe Final

Kelly earned $10,000 USD, 1000 TTR Ranking Points and 8000 points toward the Burton Global Open Series Championship title, which awards $100,000 to the female BGOS point leaders after the US Open.

Snowboarding fans and judges saw big tricks come from the day’s top riders. With Anderson stomping huge 540s off the kickers, busting out sick eggplants on the Quarterpipe and bringing back her buttery rail combos, there was no question as to why she won the Title. Jenny Jones landed huge 3s and a FS540 off the bigger kicker line, coming in second, as Silvia Mittermueller (GER) rounded out the Top 3 with sick alley-oops, big 7s and technical rail combos.
