Perisher Playstation Slopestyle Series - Won the Junior Girls Series

Thank you to Perisher and all the sponsors for a great Series. Love my new Burton Board I won and just got new Burton bindings in the mail. How good is that! My "Feelgood" I have been riding is badly delaminating and got huge chunks out of it and I have been taking my bindings off my pipe board for my slope board - so absolutely stoked to get my favourite board and bindings. Got to love that cash as well as all the other cool stuff. Thank you thank you!! Congratulations to Lauren and Maddy tonight.
