ABOUT THIS EVENT
BROUGHT TO YOU BY ALPENGLOW SPORTS
As a competitive halfpipe rider for 16 years, Elena Hight ventured from her local mountains in Lake Tahoe to places around the world and ultimately to the top stage of the Olympics. In "Breaking Through Comfort Zones: Pipes, Powder and Post Holes," Elena reflects on a 19 year long career as a professional snowboarder.
As her career continued, her eyes and heart began to wander beyond the perfectly shaped transitions and into the surrounding natural terrain. Between an inaugural trip to Alaska and her first winter camping expedition in the Sierras, she fell in love with big mountains and dreamt of how she could potentially make the pursuit of big mountain riding her main focus. After a massive personal failure, a moment of fate brought her into the High Sierra mountains on foot, and upon her return, her eyes had been opened to an entirely new path. She knew that her comfort zone at the top of the halfpipe would no longer fill her soul and that the choice to leave everything she knew behind for a new chapter was a risk, but one that she had to take.
"Breaking Through Comfort Zones: Pipes, Powder and Post Holes" traces Elena's larger than life successes and failures: 2 Winter Olympics, 7 X-Games medals, 1 US Open Championship, 1 million travel miles, 1 "never been done" before trick, 12 concussions, 1 hip surgery, 6 lost toenails, 9 days crossing the Sierra, 3 feature films, countless failed river crossings, many endured sandbags, and more smiles than recordable.
We are excited to welcome the community back to in-person shows at Olympic Village Lodge, but only in a limited capacity with Covid-19 safety precautions in place. Proof of vaccination or negative COVID test, valid identification and masks are required for entry, without exception. Please review our complete COVID protocols.
FOR THOSE THAT CAN'T MAKE THE LIVE STREAM: If you can't make the live stream at 7pm PT, you can still join the adventure - but you need to register! We'll make the link viewable for everyone that registers, regardless of when you view it.
Kauai born and Lake Tahoe raised, Elena Hight is a stand out amongst professional snowboarding’s best. At 13-years-old, Elena became the first female to land a 900 in competition. She went on to attend two Winter Olympics and in 2013, became the first snowboarder, male or female, to land a double backside alley-oop rodeo at the Winter X Games. Always at the forefront of progression, Elena has lead the way throughout her competition career and continues to do so stepping into the backcountry and big mountain riding. Elena has appeared in highly esteemed film projects including Full Moon, Teton Gravity Research’s Ode To Muir, and Snowboarder Magazine’s Unconditional. In addition to snowboarding, Elena’s passions lie in outdoor adventure, health and wellness, and advocating for environmental protection.
