Jamie Anderson of South Lake Tahoe made history today by clinching her second Swatch TTR World Tour Champion title at the 6Star Burton US Open. She is the first woman to win two TTR World Tour titles.

Anderson qualified first in today’s slopestyle semi-finals and will move on to the slopestyle finals as a favorite to win on March 11. Anderson was in contention for the TTR Tour title with fellow American, Kelly Clark, who has dominated every halfpipe competition she entered this season, but Clark did not compete in slopestyle today and no longer has the opportunity to take the World No. 1 position from Anderson.

Anderson will be awarded the TTR World Tour Champion trophy and $50,000 USD at the close of the Burton US Open on March 12 following halfpipe finals.

Clark still has the opportunity to finish in the TTR top 3 if she places well in Saturday’s halfpipe finals, in which case, she will be awarded with a sizable portion of the $200,000 USD TTR prize purse.
