Maybe you’ve heard of this girl. She’s a native Vermonter, raised on the slopes of Mount Snow and oh yeah, she’s freakin’ unstoppable in the pipe. Easily one of the most consistent female riders out there, Kelly Clark is a force to be reckoned with and she proved it yet again this past weekend by annihilating the competition in Winter X Games Superpipe in Aspen.

Check out her victory lap where she threw down a huge frontside 1080, hitting a new height record of 14′ 3″ outta the 22′ Superpipe. Yeah, that’s big.

“I approach every contest, every run, every trick in that moment, one run at a time,” Kelly told ESPN after her win. “I’m coming out here to achieve my goals, not to win the contest, that’s just a byproduct.” (A totally awesome byproduct, not like ones they make McNuggets out of.)

Coming off her recent Gold medal victory at the Dew Tour Superpipe in Breck, Kelly’s win in Aspen marked her fourth Winter X Games gold and the 13th consecutive competition she’s won over the last two years. Bad ass.

“I came off the best season I’ve ever had last year,” she said. “Honestly, I didn’t expect it to keep going. I’m kind of in awe of my streak right now.”

You’re not the only one, Kelly. Sick job and keep reppin’ Vermont with pride.

Pop-Up Jams at Carinthia Parks, Mount Snow

In winter, it’s important to always be prepared. You never know when a sudden Nor’easter may roll up and dump massive amounts of fresh or a sudden rail jam may be announced on Twitter. You heard right.

This week at Carinthia Parks at Mount Snow, it’s about being waxed and ready for rail jams at the drop of a hat. Welcome to Pop-Up Jams.

On Tuesday, December 27 and Thursday, December 29 the parks crew are randomly picking a feature in Carinthia and hosting a 45 minute jam sesh on it. There will be one jam each morning somewhere around 10-11am and one each afternoon somewhere around 1-2pm. That’s all the info you get.

Keep an eye on their Facebook and Twitter accounts for the location announcement and be ready to pounce.

Here’s the deets:

-There is no entry fee! But, you must register for this event.  Registration will take place in the Carinthia lodge each morning from 8am – 9am.
-If you over sleep, yes you can register at the jam, but that will cut into your time to compete.
-Once you register you will get a little sticker to put on your pass or lift ticket.  This sticker can be used at any of the Pop-Up Jams that week.
-You don’t have to register to join in, however no registration = no awesome prizes.
-It’s open to both skiers and riders!
