She went on to attend two Winter Olympics and in 2013, became the first snowboarder, male or female, to land a double backside alley-oop rodeo at the Winter X Games. Always at the forefront of progression, Elena has lead the way throughout her competition career and continues to do so stepping into the backcountry and big mountain riding. Elena has appeared in highly esteemed film projects including Full Moon, Teton Gravity Research’s Ode To Muir, Snowboarder Magazine’s Unconditional, and most recently her feature film Blank Canvas.
