Go do the one universal trick that all snowboarders can do–slash pow. Have your bro/girlfriend snap a photo of it and send ‘er in. After we’ve received enough photo submissions we’ll get a gallery going. Photos will be judged by a select group of heavily intoxicated veteran pow slashers after which a winner will be decided.

Rules…
photo must be a pow slash.
photo must be from this year.
photo must be from the Northwest US. No shit from Chile.
include rider name, photo name, location optional.

Riding smooth and technical Canadian Brooke Voigt took the win over the all American field of riders at her first GFFT Finals. Brooke’s run started off with a 50-50 on the first rail, into a 50-50 frontside boardslide, then a tailgrab off the cannon rail. She then landed a smooth frontside 360 on the first jump, earning points from the judges for her execution. This win solidify’s her entry into next years Dew Tour where we’re sure she will make a statement with her technical riding and hard charging attitude. Congrats Brooke!
