Olympian Elena Hight dominated halfpipe competitions for many years pushing women’s snowboarding to new levels as she pulled off new tricks during her runs then made the full switch to human powered backcountry snowboarding. This week we talk growing up in the spot light, being 16 at the Olympics, landing the first double backside alley-oop, the pressure of sponsors, snowboarding naked for ESPN, switching from halfpipe to the backcountry, splitboarding and so much more. On this episode of The Bomb Hole we get a look at Elena’s journey from the high stakes world of competitive snowboarding to making a name for herself in the backcountry and beyond.
