Defending champion of Vermont won the third annual superpipe competition, held last weekend in Snowmass, Colorado. Gretchen Bleiler, Aspen's hometown hero and co-organizer of the event, placed fifth. The competition was held on Snowmass's new 22-foot, Olympic-size superpipe. Though the fifteen female snowboarders came for the competition, they seemed to have enjoyed an epic spring powder day on the mountain even more.
