Snowmass local Jordie Karlinski has been on snow since she was two, and she landed on her first professional podium at the 2011 Burton Euro Open. From there, her consistent backside and cab spins earned her a third-place finish overall at the Dew Tour, third at the New Zealand Open and an invite to X Games Tignes. Not bad for this 5’4” firecracker. In 2013 Karlinski took sixth at the U.S. Revolution Tour, which qualified her for the Burton U.S. Open, where she took 10th. She then finished her season strong with a second at the NesCafe Champs in Leysin, Switzerland. = The 2014 season proved to be Karlinski’s best yet. She earned her first Grand Prix podium after walking away with a second-place finish at the Mammoth Grand Prix. She finished just shy of the podium at three of the five Olympic qualifiers.
