The
 Billabong 
Flaunt 
It 
all‐girls
 slopestyle 
and 
rail
 jam
 contest 
made 
its
 last
 and
 final
 stop 
of 
the 
series 
at
 Sierra‐at‐Tahoe
 Resort,
 CA.
 The
 2011
 Flaunt 
It 
contest
 series 
hit 
resorts
 across 
North
 America, 
and 
girls 
 showed 
up
 to
 the 
Finals
 from
 around
 the 
globe. 


Fresh 
powder
 dumped 
in
 the
 days 
leading
 up 
to
 the
 event
 but 
the 
sun
 finally
 came 
out 
for
 an
 epic
 day
 of 
female
 shred
 domination 
in 
the
 4Star
 TTR
 competition.

 The
 level
 of
 riding
 at 
this
 year’s 
Finals 
blew
 the 
judges 
and 
locals
 away, 
which 
included
 the
 winners
 from
 the
 previous 
six 
(6)
 Flaunt 
It
 events
 who 
had
 all 
been 
flown
 out
 as
 part 
of
 their 
first
 place
 prizing.

 All
 the
 girls
 put
 it
 on 
the
 line
 run 
after 
run 
for
 this
 last 
contest 
of 
the
 series. 

The
 Sierra‐at‐Tahoe 
park 
crew
 worked
 hard
 to
 create 
the
 perfect
 setup,
 while 
Billabong’s
 Jamie
 Anderson 
was
 on‐hand 
to
 award 
the
 girls 
for
 their
 efforts.

 


The 
ladies 
threw 
down
 very
 technical 
tricks 
on
 the 
signature 
slopestyle 
course 
and 
urban‐inspired 
rail 
jam 
in
 the
 Aspen’s
 Park.

 In
 the
 end,
 it
 was
 Isabelle 
Lalive
 from
 Breckenridge,
 Colorado
 who
 took
 home 
$5,000
 for
 first
 place 
with
 her
 phenomenal 
run
 consisting
 of 
a 
boardslide
 to
 fakie
 on
 the 
handrail,
 to 
switch 
backside
 180,
 and 
finishing 
it
 off 
with
 a 
frontside 
720.

 The
 Dakine 
Best 
trick 
belonged 
to 
Tahoe 
local
 Nicki
 Slechta 
with
 her
 backside
 720
 on
 the
 second
 jump. 

After
 a 
delicious
 lunch 
on
 the 
Tiki
 Deck
 hosted
 by 
Sierra, 
the
 competitors 
warmed
 up 
for
 the 
afternoon 
rail 
jam
 where 
they
 flaunted 
their 
skills
 on
 two
 street 
rail
 features.

 The 
rail
 jam 
was
 unbelievable 
with 
the
 most 
technical 
tricks 
being
 thrown 
down
 back
 to 
back.

 Kasandra
 Dolan 
took 
the 
lead 
with 
her 
front 
hardway 
270 
to 
270 
out 
on 
the
 40‐foot 
down 
bar
 rail, 
also 
rewarding 
her
 with 
the
 Sony
 Style
 Award.

 Billabong’s
 Brooke
 Voigt
 placed 
3rd
 in
 both 
the
 slopestyle 
and 
the 
rail
 jam, 
with
 her 
50‐50
 to
 boardslide 
pretzel
 out
 on
 the
 round 
down 
flat
 down
 rail.

 


Later 
that 
night, 
more
 style
 went 
down
 on 
the 
disco
 lighted 
bowling 
lanes
 at 
Tahoe 
Bowl
 with 
a
 congratulations
 party
 for
 Jamie 
Anderson’s
 stellar 
season.

 Many 
thanks

Summers
