Samantha Rogers has done it again-winning the British Junior Women’s Big Air title this year and having taken the Youth Gold home in 2008. At just 18 years old Sam is one of the rising stars of British Women’s snowboarding and making a reputation for herself as a fearless contender on the competitive circuit.

Sam’s fearless approach won her respect and top place on the podium in Laax against contender Amy Fuller and Sophie Nicholls. Not content with being top junior, Sam also qualified for the women’s event so went for the title against established riders Laura Berry, Claire Frost and Jo Chastney.

Going for the front flip in the Women’s, Sam had a good chance of making it to the podium again but didn’t land it quite right so Berry clinched the title with a frontside 3. Sam is now placed 6th overall in the British Big Air and is definitely one to watch in the future.
