I had the pleasure of spending a couple weeks with Jamie this winter.  Some words I’d use to describe one of the youngest, most successful women in snowboarding today.  Fun, adventurous, living in the now, positive, values friendship, loyal, productive.  Jamie spent some time out of her busy schedule to answer some of my silly questions.  

 

Jamie chilling on the hill in her backyard near South Lake Tahoe.

Yo Jamie, True or False?

Jamie is 18 years old.  True…..I’m getting up there!

Jamie is an only child. haha good one, definitely false…I have 5 sisters and 2 brothers.

Jamie started snowboarding at age 13.  False…I was like 9-ish, my 2 older sisters got me into it.

Jamie lives in South Lake Tahoe.  True and False. I live in Meyers.

Jamie has a sweet hill in her backyard that she likes to hike around during the summer and snowboard on during the winter.   True….like right behind my house!  It’s great!

Jamie isn’t afraid to hit big jumps.  False…I’m definitely scared, I just….don’t really know, I’ll talk to the homies that are hitting them, and they always help a girl out. You just kinda have to send it.

Jamie broke her hip in the European Open halfpipe competition this year.  True…Well, fractured my pelvis.  It suckeddddddd!  I missed out on X-Games and a few other big events.
