SheJumps would like to recognize a great athlete and a new Jumper; Claudia Bouvier, of Vail, for her stellar performance at the this weekend's Freeskiing World Tour Qualifier in Telluride, CO. She's just 5' tall and maybe a buck-five and was awarded the most points for Day 2 of the Qualifier—of both men and women—for her quick, fluid line. Good things come in small packages. A big congratulations to fellow SheJumpers Erin Bragg, who placed 8th, McKenna Peterson, who placed 10th, and SJ Board Member Ashley Magnuson, who placed 11th. You all sent sick "jumps"! Stay tuned for Bouvier's Jumper profile—Associate Editor, Leah Fielding.

Props to the Little One Who Sends it the Biggest

Here's an excerpt of event coordinator Mountain Sports International press release:

Two-year consecutive winner of the Tour Qualifier, Claudia Bouvier, of Vail, had a great comeback today. She made up over 11 points from yesterday to grab the top spot on the podium for the women. Bouvier’s run started strong, she whipped out of a tight cornice on the top aspect of the venue, Mountain Quail, and then charged down a frozen waterfall between the trees in Review, cut a hard right, hit a 15-footer and then sent it straight into a ten-footer; absolutely stomping it.

Guest judge and seven-year Freeskiing World Tour competitor, Cliff Bennett, was positioned at the top of the venue because of poor visibility and said that Bouvier looked the best of both the men and women.

“She flashed down the top,” Bennett said.
