A nearly flawless run punctuated with a stylish backside 900 sealed silver for the 21-year-old this weekend. Kaitlyn rode her Gnu B-Pro to the podium with Magne-traction gripping the walls of Buttermilk’s 22-foot Superpipe, banana putting the power between her feet and a C2 assist for stomped landings.
“The pipe was really awesome, I was super stoked to be able to put some runs down!”
