Jamie GOLD MEDALIST SNOWBOARDER
BEYOND THE SLOPES

“
Shred to the beat of your own drum,” was today’s mantra on the mountain when pro-snowboarder Jamie Anderson took a break in between traveling, and making her gold-medal winning moves, to talk with DISfunkshion about life right now at the top. The 24-yearold has been making moves on the slopes since she was nine, turning pro by the age of 15. “I’ve been snowboarding more than half my life!” says Jamie, “It’s so much fun being on the mountains shredding with all your friends, it’s something else.” During the early years of her career, Jamie worked her way up in events to eventually qualify as one of the youngest athletes to compete in the Winter X-Games. She’s currently the youngest Winter X-Games athlete to have won a medal. “When I was 15, I felt so much like an adult,” says Jamie, “I look at 15-year-olds now and realize how young they actually are, it’s so funny how much your perception changes as you get older.” As Jamie got older, things have only gotten better. Her most recent achievement, and biggest to date, happened at this years Winter Olympics in Sochi, where she won the gold medal in the inaugural Women’s Slope-style Event. Jamie, who is extremely grateful with her results, couldn’t be happier. “It was unreal! I can’t even describe how amazing the whole experience was! The Olympics is a completely different ball park than anything I’ve done before,” says Jamie. Despite a thriving career, Jamie remains as grounded as ever, owing much of that to being in tune with her spirituality. “In a peaceful setting or in a hectic airport, spirituality has inspired me to find that love (and) that inner bliss in everyday situations, and to spread that to others, and help lift each other up along the way,” says Jamie.

With a packed schedule, she still finds some time for herself in the form of yoga. “I love yoga. Even on the road, I try to keep up on my practice,” says Jamie, “I also love a little tropical get away, which I’m so thankful to spend a few weeks in Bali this year eating good food, surfing and doing yoga!” And she’s doing just that! At the moment she’s traveling through Australia and New Zealand, and then off to Fiji and Bali for some personal time to re-group after a busy year. She’ll be finding inspiration as she lives moment to moment. “I Manifest what I truly want to do in the years to come,” says Jamie, “The world is ours, and anything is possible- we just have to believe!”

That belief has brought Jamie the success she’s seen today, and says that for anyone looking to go after their dreams, they just need a little faith. “Be courageous, trust yourself and have fun along the way! Remember it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey.” As Jamie has shown the world, it’s a journey to the top.
