BIOGRAPHY:
A two-time Olympic medalist - she won gold in 2002 and bronze in 2010 - Kelly Clark is a natural innovator and dominant force in the sport. Leading the way in competition for her fellow female riders, Clark always manages to push the envelope and top herself from one season to the next. In 2011 Clark continued to bridge the gap between men's and women's halfpipe as she stomped the first 1080 in women's competition history. And what did that progression get her? Wins at the Burton New Zealand Open, the O'Neil Evolution, the Burton European Open, the Killington Dew Tour, X Games in Aspen, the Burton Canadian Open, the Snowbasin Dew Tour, the Mammoth Grand Prix, the Burton U.S. Open and the European X Games.

KELLY SAYS:
The 2011 season was an amazing year for me. I had fun, learned new things and did well as a result. It was beyond my expectations and I am looking to pursue my goals for this next season.

FIRST TRACKS:
Who would have known that a plastic Mobile Monster snowboard from K Mart would have such an impact on the world of snowboarding? Well, that's the equipment on which Clark got her start, linking turns on snow banks back in Vermont. A few years later she was enrolled in a mountain school for her high school years and the rest is history, as Clark is widely regarded as on of the world's best female snowboarders.

OFF THE SNOW:
When I’m not riding, or when I’m at home I try to be the same as when I am riding. I want a life of consistency and not be a different person when I’m home. I’m kind of more of a "what you see is what you get" person. As far as what I do, I always just have as much fun as I can outside, mountain bike, surf, hang out with friends watch movies and read. I also spend a lot of time fundraising and hosting junior camps.
