Kelly Clark

About Kelly

Kelly has been dominating competitive snowboarding for more than 15 years. In the process, she has changed the way women ride. With more than 70 career wins, the 34-year-old Vermont native has pushed the sport with amplitude and technical, aggressive riding. History's most prolific snowboarder has earned two ESPYs (including Best Female Action Sports Athlete in 2015), 14 X Games medals (seven gold), three Olympic medals, five World Snowboard Tour titles, six U.S. Grand Prix titles and eight U.S. Open titles. She established the Kelly Clark Foundation in 2010 to help provide access to the sport of snowboarding. Her legacy clearly defined, Kelly will make her 21st consecutive SuperPipe appearance at XG Aspen in 2018 and looks to make her 5th Olympic team; something that has never been done by an American snowboarder.
