The 10 Hottest Women in Snowboarding Right Now
Women's snowboarding is advancing leaps and bounds every season, and there are a number of women that are credited for the sport's advancements. The following women are those who are sticking landings, venturing into uncharted terrain, tearing through gates, and looking good while they do it. These the 10 hottest women in snowboarding right now in terms of both physical attractiveness and athletic badassery.
Jamie Anderson is famous for slopestyle skills, and you may have seen her take home the gold at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and at the 2015 Winter X Games in Aspen. Hailing from Lake Tahoe, Calif., this 24-year-old female rider is stomping maneuvers previously unknown to the women's snowboarding world.
Gretchen Bleiler is known by some snowboard fans for her beauty, but it's her riding skills that are most impressive. She has taken home a Dew Tour championship, six X Games medals, an Olympic silver medal, and even an ESPY as the Woman's Action Sports Athlete of the Year. She's taking women's halfpipe riding to places it has never been before.
Jenny Jones is as decorated as she is beautiful. At 33 years old, she's the unofficial pioneer of women's slopestyle, and her silver medal at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics and multiple X Games golds are able to prove it. It's hard not to be a fan of this trick stomping legend.
It's hard to believe that two-time Olympian Elena Hight hails from Hawaii. Her abilities as a professional snowboarder will lead you to believe she was born on the mountain. She was the first female rider to land a 900 in competition at the age of 13, and the first snowboarder ever to land a double backside alley-oop rodeo at the 2013 Winter X Games Superpipe finals in Aspen. Her style on and off the mountain is influencing females around the world to fly higher and push their athletic limits.
Silje might just make you fall in love at first sight. Although, the Norwegian's long blonde hair and blue eyes are just a couple of her stunning features. She started snowboarding when she was just 4 years old, and at 21, she has proven her place among the best women in the sport. She took home back-to-back gold medals in the Winter X Games Aspen slopestyle competitions in 2014 and 2015.
Aleksandra Jekova is a stunning brunette who brings far more to the table than good looks. She's one of Bulgaria's favorite female athletes, and she made her country proud when she competed in the parallel giant slalom and snowboard cross events at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.
Tara Dakides is a female snowboarding veteran and all-around superstar. She's one of the most recognizable females in the sport and has even made appearances on the Late Show with David Letterman and MTV Cribs. The two-time X Games gold medalist is also an owner of O-Matic Snowboards.
Hannah Teter is known for being super hot, but she's also known for tearing up the halfpipe. She took home the halfpipe gold in Turin, Italy in 2006, silver in Vancouver in 2010, and fourth at the Sochi Olympics in 2014. Aside from the Olympics, Hannah Teter has been on the podium more times than any fan can count.
Kjersti is in her 15th year of professional snowboarding, and she's one of the most successful women in the sport. Her stylish appearance clearly rubs off on her snowboarding, because she's often regarded as the most stylish female rider ever. Her extensive career has led to numerous FIS World Cup, X Games, Dew Tour, and Olympic medals.
Whenever someone is called the "greatest of all time" there's usually room for debate. That's not the case with Kelly Clark. Most professional riders and female snowboarding fans will agree that she's the one who should be credited for taking women's snowboarding where it is today. Kelly has more wins than any male or female snowboarder in the history of the sport.
