ASPEN, Colo. – It’s already been a heck of a year for Julia Marino. Since February, the 19-year-old snowboarder won her first big air competition at Fenway Park and landed on the podium in two other events.
Just less than 12 months later, the X Games rookie will leave this competition with two medals.
Marino claimed gold in the women’s snowboard slopestyle competition at Buttermilk Mountain on Saturday, using the most technical rail riding of the day to score a 94.66.
It was Marino’s second medal in three days after she claimed bronze in the first every X Games big air competition.
