What’s not to love about Jamie Anderson? Great style, a determined attitude and she’s a winner. If there’s one undeniable fact about Jamie, it’s her ability to slay a contest and ride away a champion. As it stands, Anderson of South Lake Tahoe, California, is the youngest rider to be crowned a World Tour Champion title and the 2007/2008 season was without doubt the defining year for the 19 year old. She bagged seven podium finishes including the 4Star Garnier Fructis Australian Open, 6Star Burton US Open and 6Star Roxy Chicken Jam Slopestyle Titles, all eventually leading to her Tour Championship title. Add to the mix a couple of X-Games gold medals and you have one of the most successful riders competing on the Tour.

What exactly makes Jamie such a successful snowboarder? Three words: Versatility, style and raw talent. Ok, that’s four words, but the point stands that few rival Jamie’s tricks and board manipulation abilities. Her rail combos are buttery smooth and complex, and taking the bigger Slopestyle lines her spins are floaty, solid and offer more than your textbook 540. Her devotion to constantly out perform her opponents and progress in order to win is how she’s been able to build such an impressive competitive career.
