South Tahoe snowboard athlete, Jamie Anderson, will be
featured in an upcoming television program called Mountain Movers. Mountain
Movers is a reality series that gives viewers an inside look into how
ski/snowboard park features are built.
The company featured in Mountain Movers is Snow ParkTechnologies (SPT). SPT builds the competition courses for Winter X Games, Winter
Dew Tour, Burton U.S. Open and hundreds of other venues.
Episode 5 of Mountain Movers will feature a gap jump
performed by 22 year-old Jamie Anderson. Anderson is a six-time snowboard Winter
X gold medalist who calls Sierra at Tahoe her home mountain.
SPT created a launch and landing ramp over a paved road
at Sierra at Tahoe. Gap jumping isn’t new, but few females attempt them. You
don’t want to land short on a gap jump. Show producers say Anderson is the first
woman to land a jump of this magnitude.
The “Monster Jump” will air the evening of Thursday, June
6 on the National Geographic Channel (NatGeo).
