BIOGRAPHY
A two-time Olympic medalist - she won gold in 2002 and bronze in 2010 - Kelly Clark is a natural innovator and dominant force in the sport. Leading the way in competition for her fellow female competitors, Clark always manages to push the envelope and top herself from one season to the next. A pair of X Games gold medals and three Grand Prix titles later, Clark is blurring the lines between men's and women's halfpipe as she lands the tricks and scores that put her at the top.

KELLY SAYS
Last season exceeded my expectations. I was really happy with not only my placement, but my performance and how I was riding. I have to go off how I feel about my riding based off of my riding, and not necessarily my result. I won a lot of events this year. At the two biggest events, those were the ones I didn’t win but at the same time I’m not really judging myself on my competition results. I judge myself on how well I prepared and how well I was riding and how well I was able to manage myself through the most intense situation.

FIRST TRACKS
Who would have known that a plastic Mobile Monster snowboard from K Mart would have such an impact on the world of snowboarding? Well, that's the equipment on which Clark got her start, linking turns on snow banks back in Vermont. A few years later she was enrolled in a mountain school for her high school years and the rest is history as Clark marks herself as one of the world's best female snowboarders.

OFF THE SNOW

When I’m not riding, or when I’m at home I try to be the same as when I am riding. I want a life of consistency and not be a different person when I’m home. I’m kind of more of a 'what you see is what you get' person. As far as what I do, I always just have as much fun as I can outside, mountain bike, surf, hang out with friends watch movies and read. I also spend a lot of time fundraising and hosting junior camps.
