Great start to the season Team GB snowboarder Katie Ormerod

Katie Ormerod continued her great start to the season with 5th at the Snowboard Big Air World Cup event in Copper Mountain, Colorado, USA.

This was an even more impressive result for Ormerod as although she had qualified in second place, she had to pull out of the final due to injury.

Katie loves Breckenridge

Colorado is one of Ormerod’s favourite places to train and compete. When interviewed by Skipedia at the London Ski and Snowboard Show in October, she revealed that her favourite ski resort was Breckenridge.

 

The Chaletline team wish Katie all the best for the rest of the season in the build up to the 2018 Winter Olympics at Pyeongchang in South Korea.
