Where are you at the moment? I'm in lake tahoe, california

How was your off season? I'ts great! summer's in tahoe are pretty much amazing, so stoked im home!

You had killer comp results again this year. Besides slaying the Burton Open in NZ and OZ last southern hemi winter, what went down in comps for you 09'? Oh you know, some good, some bad...but for the most part, I had a blast! met a bunch of cool people and rode a lot of amazing places! good times for sure :)

Did you focus on other elements, ie. filming a video part, shooting photos? I tried to shoot more, but honestly I did so many contests I had like no time! and then I gut hurt at the US open and it kind of screwed up my spring.i was planning on filming and shooting all spring and I haven't shot one day! kinda blew it, but next year for sure!

You also won Women's Rider of the Year at the Transworld Riders Poll. Congrats!! I can't believe it! I'm so stoked!

What are your next movements... Are you coming down under again??? Yes, most definitely! I love NZ and AUS! I'm coming out early this year to kick it and ride a bit before the Open.

What comes to mind for you when I say "southern hemisphere winter"? Haha...good times! i always have so much fun there! last year was sweet, stayed a lot longer then i had planned, went on road trips, road a bunch of powder went to the beach for a few days in byron bay, ended up going to falls creek for style wars, and yea....just had a great time!

What are some of your new favourite things? Lately, snorkeling! haha spent a few weeks in hawaii, and i wasn't able to surf, so i was snorkeling and swimming a bunch!

Songs in your head? Talking heads, this must be the place....good song!

Who's raising the bar in women's snowboarding at the moment? Kjersti Buass

What are doing after this interview? I couldn't say... staying in this moment right now! Haha, but most likely I'll be trying to pack my suitcase, going to NYC tomorrow!

Thanks Jamie! You'll be coming down under soon? Yeah I'll be down there soon!
