Jamie Anderson Wins Women’s Snowboard Slopestyle Finals and Chanelle Sladics Takes Third at Mount Snow Resort in Vermont
NEW YORK – January 10, 2009 – Norwegian Torstein Horgmo maintained the lead in a close contest against Olympic gold medalist Shaun White in the men’s snowboard slopestyle finals and Jamie Anderson won the women’s event Saturday in the second stop of the inaugural Winter Dew Tour.
“I was just having a good day and my body felt good,” Anderson said. “I didn’t really do so many frontside fives in practice, I was kind of just doing backside 180’s so I’m stoked on that part.”
Canadian Spencer O’Brien was second at 81.50 and Chanelle Sladics, of Newport Beach, Calif., was third at 80.67. O’Brien, who won the previous Winter Dew Tour event, remains the overall point leader heading into the season finale next month in California.
The four-day competition is the second of three stops of the Winter Dew Tour that features men’s and women’s freeskiing and snowboarding disciplines. Sunday’s action features the men’s and women’s snowboard superpipe finals.
