Hiroto Ogiwara Sets Snowboard Record at X Games

Teen snowboarder Hiroto Ogiwara made history at the X Games in Aspen by executing a perfect 2340 mute grab, establishing a new snowboard record and winning the Gold Medal with a score of 97.33. Despite suffering a minor forearm fracture earlier, Ogiwara's performance marked him as the first to complete this maneuver in competition. Meanwhile, Alenka Mali, a Squamish snowboarder and BASE jumper, is set to premiere her film 'The Beginning' at the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival, showcasing her groundbreaking accomplishments in extreme sports. In Squamish, local snowboarder Evan Beatty successfully descended the North Gully of the Stawamus Chief, inspired by previous skiers' descents and taking advantage of recent snowfall. These stories highlight the adventurous spirit and accomplishments of snowboarders in various contexts, from competitive settings to personal challenges.
