Nobody was more surprised than 34-year-old Janna Meyen-Weatherby when she won the Women’s Slopestyle contest at Snowbasin Sunday, beating out South Lake Tahoe’s Jamie Anderson and Spencer O’Brien for the win at the last stop of the Winter Dew Tour.

Weatherby blazed through the top section of the course with 50-50s and boardslides, then floated a Cab 540 mute and a backside 360 stalefish on the jumps. “I’ve been competing for more than two decades,” she said. “When I started riding, snowboarding wasn’t even allowed at most mountains, so I’m honored to still be able to hang out on a podium with people like Jamie and Spencer.”

After wins at the first two stops of the tour, Jamie Anderson’s second place finish Sunday was enough to secure her second Dew Cup trophy in a row, ahead of Rebecca Torr and Jordie Karlinski.

“I’ve been having a great year and I’m so stoked to take the Dew Cup,” Anderson says. “I’m so inspired to see Janna out here laying it down and I hope I can keep progressing and stay in this for a long time.”
