Ellery Hollingsworth has quickly established herself as a leader of snowboarding's next wave. The Stratton Mountain School graduate was the first woman to land a 1080. Then, in 2010, Hollingsworth charged with the best in the sport and narrowly missed a spot on the Olympic team. Still, she followed that up with a solid 2011 season, notching top 10 finishes on both the Grand Prix and Dew Tour circuits. The 2012 season saw Hollingsworth on podiums at the Burton U.S. Open, Burton Canadian Open and an impressive third at the Sprint U.S. Grand Prix. Hollingsworth continued to progress in 2013, taking fourth at the FIS World Cup event staged at the new Olympic venue in Sochi, Russia. She also beat tough weather and competitors at the Burton European Open to take third. ELLERY SAYS FIRST TRACKS OFF THE SNOW |
