BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. — Jamie Anderson of South Lake Tahoe started her season with an impressive run that featured some of the most versatile riding snowboarding fans have seen, winning the women’s Dew Tour slopestyle finals in Breckenridge on Friday.

Nailing her final run with spins in all four directions and a massive 540 on the final jump that she floated to the bottom, Anderson scored a remarkable score of 96 out of a possible 100. It was an improvement over Anderson’s finish at last season’s Breckenridge Dew Tour where she came in fifth.

Next up for Anderson is the Sprint U.S. Grand Prix and FIS World Cup at Copper Mountain Jan. 9-13.

Canada’s Spencer O’Brien placed second with Enni Rukajarvi from Finland taking third.

“I don’t even have words! I really lifted my last jump and I knew that I needed my frontside 7 in my run, but I was having a hard time with it during training.” Anderson said. “I knew it was important to spin four ways and I am so thankful to be here. This is such a nice personal redemeption for me and this is what I wanted to do. The course was really fun too.”
