Jenny Jones is surely the (shred) nation’s sweetheart in the UK, and is our most successful competitive snowboarder ever. The Bristol-born three times X Games Gold medal winner has something of a fairy tale backstory, starting out as a chalet maid at the age of 18. In fact, when that film Chalet Girl came out a couple of years back, there were rumours they’d based the plot on her career. Having struggled with injury when she was first invited to the X games at 21, Jenny’s recovery and achievements in slopestyle have been the pride of the British snowboard scene ever since and she’s more than made her mark on the international stage.
Jenny took 2nd at NZ Olympic World Cup recently, losing out only to Jamie Anderson, and is looking like a strong medal hope at her first Olympic games.
