Anderson Takes Slopestyle Grand Prix at Mammoth Mountain
The sun was shining down as Jamie Anderson (South Lake Tahoe, CA) put together incredible slopestyle snowboarding runs to win the Paul Mitchell Progression Session during the Sprint U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix at Mammoth Mountain.
The competition, which featured two rails, a "dance floor" and a series of jumps, awarded a $7,500 prize purse to the winner, not to mention ample rations of Paul Mitchell products to style their hair.
The women's competition was slightly less suspenseful as Anderson led out of the gate, throwing a back 3 that set her apart from the group of women competitors. Her second run was a killer victory lap, putting together another backside 3 and some huge airs.
Anderson was followed in second by Danielle Adams (Evergreen, CO) and Jamie Madrid (Fontana, CA) for third.
