Yea, Jamie won the delayed Roxy Chicken Jam Slopestyle event in Mammoth and with that she won the overall Ticket to ride tour. Everyone kept talking about Torah Bright and Kelly Clark possibly winning the overall so I was kind of surprised to hear that Jamie won the overall. It is definitely not a surprise to hear that Jamie won the slopestyle event since she has been killing it all season though and was actually in second place overall coming into the weekend. Here is my educated guess what happened. Even though Torah Bright and Kelly Clark were running one and two in the ratings after the pipe jam, Jamie entered pipe (and got some points) and won slope. The combined pointts accrued over the weekend put her on top. So congrats to her.
You may ask yourself, well how did they get there? Simple – weather. The slope contest was originally scheduled for Sunday but wind and powder did not agree. Instead of ripping 7’s down the course, the contests were rippinf pow turns instead. The pow was really good too. For Monday the sun was out and it was a much better day to run things.

Kimmy Fasani, fun to watch ride and nice to talk to
Big crowd for Saturday (shown), no crowd for the storms on Sunday’s postponed slope finals
1 and 2 on the podium - Chanelle Sladics (2nd) and Roxy Chicken Jam jam/TTR champ Jamie Anderson. Jamie is fine, I just caught her with her eyes half closed
In case you were wondering, part of the skatepark is dry
Part of the park still has snow in it

The contest was called off due to wind and snow but that meant insane riding in the protected zones of Mammoth
