USSA Revolution Tour 1st Stop Mt. Snow Vermont-
It was the typical east coast day in Vermont, the sky was overcast, the air brisk, could not have been any closer to MICHIGAN weather! That was working for our Middle Earth Betty Shredder, Karly Piper Shorr!

After finishing 6th place in the halfpipe yesterday Karly had her sights on going BIG! She set out in warm-ups on the medium jump line and after one pass she did what she does best-GO BIG!
She surprised herself as she hit the BIG line in practice! Felt pretty much like home--so she stepped it up to make the finals! Going into her first run of finals she was dialed! Karly charged the first set of rails caught her edge and was met with disaster! She bounced back quickly and went on to finish strong. First run of the finals was a wash! Karly stepped it up on the second run and gave it everything she had but keeping it safe-- going into the rail section it was Front board on flat box, gap to down flat down street rail, 50/50 street barrel rail burly! She crailed her first jump into her very own "Karly" style Stiffy jump! When asked how big were the jumps and how high did you go she responded: "IDK! They were huge and super high! It was my safe run bc I fell on my 1st run!"
