For those unfamiliar with the smooth snowboard stylings of Elena Graglia, she is a ripper from Imperia, Italy, who has carved her way to a spot on the Rough Snowboards squad with some fine board control, a helluva front blunt (in addition to a deeper-than-average stash of go-to moves) and a finely composed rail attack. She spent a chunk of the year riding in Southern California last season—not a bad place for a chick looking to get railed…shit, I mean, LA is a great spot to crush endless rails…damn, English!!! What we're getting at is Southern Cali is a great spot to rally the park and get your tricks on lock, and Elena did just that last winter. She logged a few shots for Rough Snowboards' film Rough Cut (streaming now on our main page), and don't be surprised if she turns out an impressive part this year. Pressure's on, Elena!!!  From L.A. to Italy, bring on the snow!
