00:00As Jeremy and Tiff and Mia's parents are out here watching live in person and Mia was amped up this
00:07morning.
00:08She didn't seem to have a lot of nerves. She just seemed like she was fired up to get out
00:12there and shred.
00:13Yeah, you can see her mic is on and as Derek said, she just was so excited, like so excited
00:20to ride this venue.
00:22I think it speaks a lot to her skill set of being able to handle the steeps.
00:27And you see as she goes with full force, like there's a jet engine coming off the back of her
00:33snowboard straight into this first air.
00:36The only rider in the snowboard women's category to go out of start three.
00:39The exposure absolutely enormous and Mia Jones is going full throttle over here in the steeps.
00:47The exposure below her is extreme here on the Bec de Rosse as Mia just navigating her way through this
00:55absolute maze of rocks.
00:58You can hear her breathing hard.
01:00This mountain demands full leg strength as Mia makes her way down the Bec, catching an air just off the
01:08backside and enjoying the powder turn.
01:11She's got one more feature and now she has a whole blank slate in front of her just to enjoy.
01:18Oh, completely white rooming herself there with a slash turn and Mia Jones now enjoying the fruits of her labor
01:25of full speed attack.
01:29Just incredible riding there from Mia Jones. Top to bottom, immaculate run.
01:34I mean, we've seen so much out of this rookie in her first year. Every run is so good. Her
01:40run in Alaska is burned into my brain at the moment.
01:45Just such a strong, impressive rider and attending Dartmouth on the side.
01:50Yeah, just part of the Freeride World Tour Overachievers Club as so many of these riders. A big hug.
01:56It was so much fun. Great. It was so, so much fun.
02:00Trying to just eavesdrop in on their conversation in the finish area, the Hover Air Line Tracker.
02:06Mia, the only rider in the snowboard women's category to go from start three and she went out with such
02:11a level of intensity.
02:13She really did. A lot of, there were some cliffs that were closed off for the women on that side
02:19and Mia was able to find the way through all the exposure and hitting the cliffs that she could.
02:24And she just goes with full force.
02:27Yeah, stacking features above exposure, in the exposure, and then the riding. Her board placement is so perfect. I love
02:35that.
02:36You know, you're down, you're past all of the cliffs. You can just give yourself the glory turn as the
02:41crowd in Verbier just absolutely frothing on the performances they've seen from the snowboard women's category,
02:49from ski women before ski men and the snowboard men opening up the day. The score coming in for Mia
02:56Jones. It goes up, up, up, way up.
02:5987 points for Mia Jones and she is going to take over the hot seat. She's going to share a
03:05hug there with Anna Martinez and she just, I mean, doing some quick math.
03:10She wants to play all the way.
03:10I don't know very much.
03:10you
