00:00out of the marion air tea camp who is extremely talented on a snowboard anna martinez she took a

00:07win in kicking horse in 2024 and uh she's riding out of valpara out of chamonix she's no stranger

00:15to steep terrain absolutely not she was second here in spain last year so she has some confidence

00:20from that she again making quick work of this ridge line kind of your little warm-up turns

00:24to get the legs going um before she drops into again starting with a little variable

00:29snow knowing you've just got to get through it and get to your zone yeah i feel like right now

00:36with a 69 point run sitting on the hot seat the door is open absolutely a couple uh a few of these

00:42riders the last four riders to really blow the doors off here and we see anna going over to a

00:48completely different side of the face this rider's right side has had a lot more sun you can see the

00:53texture on the snow is quite different as she's making her way way over onto the rider's right

00:58yeah she's going way over rider's right and she's above these really aesthetic uh couloir features

01:03that honestly just look so fun to ride but there's plenty of features in here looks like she is lining

01:08herself up for i'm gonna call that a tester feature you know a little bit unsure it's high on the face

01:13she doesn't know how the snow is going to be and she feels it and now she's ready to go find i think

01:17she's feature hunting yeah she is now coming back into the central part anna martina's on edge toe

01:24side take off landing on the heel side edge and handling it yeah staying balanced there you could

01:29see her probably training strength really helping there well anna is a professional crossfitter in her

01:35spare time so she's certainly strong and now amy putting herself above a serious piece of terrain

01:41taking off landing beautifully such control amy on that landing that was a great landing she was

01:47perfectly balanced and again i think that strength was showing there too because that snow was a little

01:51variable i think in that landing but she found it and held on to it now she's making quick work of the

01:56lower part of the face with some nice turns again i think in this part of the face the athletes aren't

02:00sure like is the snow gonna stay good should i take another air or should i just get to the finish line

02:06um because again i think the variance is going to come back into play down here but she's off the

02:10face she's cruising through the rollers kind of like the little victory lap after the line yeah

02:16exactly with the crowd on the ridge top above you just roaring their approval

02:24finding another little wind feature right down at the bottom one more toeside turn

02:29holding on anna martinez wrapping things up snowboard women underway a clean top to bottom on a

02:35totally new part of the base yeah it's it's fun and exciting for us as viewers and for the judges

02:40when uh athletes just pick totally different lines but that also takes some confidence right nobody has

02:46skied on that part of the venue yet so she's up there she hasn't seen anyone ski that side uh

02:52yet and so she's kind of taking a little bit of a bet there we see her first air as she comes

02:59onto the meat of the slope and then she's making her way to her next feature again testing out those

03:04landings and here you can see her fight to hold on to that landing but it was clean and then this

03:08air at the bottom her biggest feature of her run and just smooth like butter on that landing you could

03:14see her still using that strength to stay in the middle of her board yeah a really sensible approach

03:19there competitive approach from anna martinez as the snow got better her amplitude ramped up as we see

03:25the hover air line tracker going way out to the rider's right getting that sunny kind of um sun facing

03:33kuar at the start and then as you said feature hunting as we see now anna martinez the judges

03:39have already had their say score popping in at a 66 my uh my take on that amy line score is the is the

03:46difference

03:54you

03:56you
