I love all music, but when I am on the mountain, I listen to a lot of Nas, Drake, 2 Pac, etc.
— Jamie Anderson
I grew up watching my sisters and seeing kids at the local mountain hit jumps. After I hit my first jump, I knew this was something I was going to pursue.
Yoga always helps me slow down, be present, and be grateful for my health and well-being.
I don't want to be like Donald Trump or anything like it... I'm different than some people.
I have to have my Beats Studio3 noise-canceling headphones with me on long flights.
I love this little family-owned Italian spot called Tep's Villa Roma. It has good home-style food made with love and intention.
Sometimes I'll even have a dream of the trick I want to do, and I'll land it perfectly. And then I know. I'm like, 'OK, I'm ready. I want to do this trick.' But it takes so much courage.
Meditation is key. It's a crazy world we live in. Everything is happening so fast in our world, so to take a moment and clear the mind and just be totally present is so healing. I want to meditate more.
I don't think I'm your typical rock-hard ripped girl. But that's what I love and embrace about myself. I feel good, but I always feel like I can be better. That's what I thrive on.
I love the paddle board. It's just a really good way to recenter. Being on the water is really peaceful, and you have to focus on your balance and holding yourself up. Doing a little bit of yoga under the sun on the water is really, really magical.
I have a glass of alkaline water first thing. I don't have the biggest appetite in the morning, which is kind of tough for me, but I always start with a green drink called Tonic Alchemy. It's a really amazing combination drink that has a lot of different superfoods and algae and Chinese herbs.
Seeing the body heal itself and come back from injuries is something that just makes me value my body and health even more. I love everything about it.
My parents have always supported me, and they still come to my events and support me each day.
I try to eat a plant-based diet, but it is challenging in the winter months and traveling all the time. I just do my best every day to eat healthy, wholesome foods.
I feel yoga has helped me with everything in my life. Especially my snowboarding; between the strength, flexibility, balance, and meditation aspects of yoga, it has helped me in so many ways!
I bring incense, essential oils, and candles to make my hotel room feel more like home.
I like the Dakine Ryder 24L pack because it's simple, it's steezy, and it's perfect for traveling. It comes with a padded laptop sleeve and a travel pocket at the top for your passport and other things you need quick access to.
I love hiking out to Fallen Leaf Lake. It's a beautiful spot to go hike around, and it's at the base of one of the biggest mountains, Mount Tallac! And of course, I love to hit Sierra at Tahoe for snowboarding.
I get to a competition and feel out the slopestyle course and kind of see which directions the jumps are flowing and which way I feel like I can do my tricks.
My mala beads are very precious to me. A yoga teacher and friend named Leslie made them for me with love and intention. They are very grounding, and I love them.
When I started competing at X Games, there was so much chaos that often me and my girlfriends would go into the trees and just take a moment.
I like to run and hike. I do some slack-lining, like balancing on the tightrope, which is really good for your entire body, but I've noticed a lot of benefits in my feet and ankles.
When I'm snowboarding, I just feel stronger and more flexible and more able to trust my instincts - because there are times when you really do have to be mindful with the jumps you're hitting and the conditions that you're riding in.
My mom and dad decided to homeschool us - I'm one of eight - because they really wanted us to be outside and learn some other fundamentals instead of it being school all day in a classroom.
I remember watching the summer Olympics as a kid and knew that I wanted to be an Olympian one day. At the time, snowboarding wasn't in the Olympics, but I knew that wouldn't stop me.
My personal medicine bundle is my backpack that I have at the top of the course. Each person's medicine bundle is different and sacred and not to be spoken of. I have some goodies in my bundle. And my power stone is a quartz crystal that I love and wear almost every day.
Tinder in the Olympic Village is next level. It's all athletes! In the mountain village, it's all athletes. It's hilarious.
You need a GoPro camera and some fun mounts to capture the chaos.
Emerald Bay is absolutely beautiful and a definite must see.
Tahoe is a magical place full of positive energy, beautiful mountains, and lakes all around. It's home for me and feels so good to be there.
Five beautiful sisters and two amazing brothers - I'm so grateful for my family.
Snowboarding really is a luxury sport.
I always go to yoga - I do core fusion and Vinyasa. My favorite poses are variations on the handstand and the scorpion. You have to use your whole body, it's physically and mentally challenging.
Around 10:30 or 11, I'll make poached eggs and maybe some Brussels sprouts - kind of random, but delicious. Sometimes I'll do bacon. I've been on a more fat/protein diet with fewer carbs and less saturated stuff, which has actually been feeling really good.
When I ruptured my spleen, I was about to win the overall Series for the World Tour, and I was at the last event in Vermont for the U.S. Open and was having a great day. Then I just got a little too excited and just face-planted, and I knew something was wrong. I really couldn't breathe, and my whole body was in so much pain.
