Without a doubt, the Suzuki Nine Queens 2015 in Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis, Austria has made its mark on female snowboard history, with many personal firsts and some never before landed tricks. The weeklong session ran from 15th to the 20th of March 2015 and featured heli, sunset, and sunrise shoots, as well as the final showdown, the Big Air Contes.

Echoing the relaxed attitude of the super session, the contest took the format of a one-hour jam session where each rider had about eight runs, with two best tricks counting to their total score. Kjersti’s consistent riding and effortless style is what set her apart, with a backside 540 japan and front 720 stale. On top of that, she landed nearly perfect frontside 1080 for the first time, a trick stomped earlier in the week by Jamie Anderson (USA). Kjersti was stoked, “I am so surprised to be on top of the podium, because I came up here this morning super tired and wasn’t sure how it would go. All of the sudden, I’m trying stuff that I know I can do and actually got a front 1080 which is my first ever. It’s an amazing feeling.” Having stomped a world first double backside rodeo mute the day before Klaudia Medlova (SLO) was on form and threw down an airy backside rodeo 540 and a frontside 720 mute placing second and Elena Könz (SUI) came in third with a personal first backside 900 and a switch backside 540.
