Congratulations to team rider Leanne Pelosi and Canadian distributor rider Marie-France Roy for dominating at the Vans Cup at Northstar-at-Tahoe Resort in Truckee, Calif., over the weekend!
Defending her title from last year’s event, Leanne took home third in the women’s rail jam against tough competition with a solid boardslide to 270 out. Marie-France nailed the best trick in the rail jam with a flawless boardslide to fakie down the kink, and also earned a third place finish in the slopestyle event. For their efforts, Leanne pocketed $1,000 and Marie-France took home a total of $4,000 between both events.
Both Leanne and Marie-France will be traveling back east for the Burton US Open at Stratton Mountain, Vt., March 14-18; after that, they will tentatively head west again for the Roxy Chicken Jam in Park City, Utah, March 22-25.
