Looks like Travis Rice isn’t the only Oakley sponsored snowboarder who can win his own self-designed contest. Gretchen Bleiler just won an even that she created originally called The Gretchen Bleiler Invitational. They later changed the name to the CoverGirl Snow Angels Invitational, but that didn’t stop Ms. Bleiler.
Even after changing its name to the CoverGirl Snow Angels Invitational, it was all about Bleiler at the inaugural event last weekend. The Aspen hostess took home the mostest at the women-only season-ending snowboard weekend she created, claiming $10,000 for her dominance in the superpipe and being named the event’s MPR (most progressive rider).
In the video Gretchen says she “just wanted it to be an event that the girls would talk about and love and enjoy coming to,” but it’s kind of like going to a birthday party and watching the hostess eat all the cake. . . and ice cream.
Just wait until we host the Boardistan Blowout. . . we’re going to scoop up those medals like spilled Cheerios.
