Nikita’s Maribeth Swetkoff Takes on Japan for the Asian Open
One plane, four trains, 6 busses, and 48 hours later, we finally arrived at ALTS Bandai Resort around midnight. Since I had missed the practice day for the slopestyle course, I woke up and went straight into my qualifying runs, where I competed with about 50 other girls. I made it through to the next round and then had two perfect practice runs through the course before the semi- finals. Too bad I didn’t ride as well during the contest! I didn’t make it to finals so I had the next few days to just hang out and enjoy myself!
