LAST DAY- Winter XGames Aspen

History was made Friday night at Winter XGames Aspen as over 46,000 fans cheered in the cold. 21 year old Jamie Anderson took home the gold with the highest score and hardest run ever seen in women's Slopestyle history. Then jaws dropped watching Big Air as the first "official" triple cork was landed at XGames by Mark McMorris & Torstein Horgmo.

X Games in Aspen [Day 2: Buttermilk]

One of the many perks of working Winter X Games in Aspen...the free lift pass! During our prep days leading up to the games, everyone takes "run breaks"...and since our office is conveniently located at the bottom of Buttermilk mountain and steps away from the chair lift, taking a 3 run break is a daily routine. 

First run of the trip w/ the dancing queen herself- Erin.

X-Games Going Global

X-Games is making an EXTREME move. Early yesterday ESPN announced a crazy big expansion for the X-Games franchise.

The X-Games will have 6 events globally starting in 2013! This new international event/ festival will be called Global X.

It's about time action sports took over the world...I'm just sayin'.

PS. Word on the street is surfing will be joining the X-Games/Global X family. HELL YA!
