Brookes sensational in X Games Slopestyle title winning run

19-year-old seals Slopestyle title for second time

Mia Brookes took her second career X Games title and fourth podium with a stunning performance in the Women’s Snowboard Slopestyle competition in Aspen, Colorado.

Brookes, who was named in the Team GB squad for the Milano Cortina Olympic Winter Games earlier in the day, stormed to victory with a mammoth score of 96.33 to secure victory in a stacked international field.

Her performance continues a proud X Games record which began with gold in the 2024 Slopestyle contest, before taking bronze in the 2025 edition. The result also gives 19-year-old Brookes a second major podium of the season following victory in her only prior competition appearance of the season in the Beijing Big Air World Cup.

Brookes is set to compete in the X Games Big Air competition before attentions turn to the Olympic Winter Games, where she is slated to compete in both the Slopestyle and Big Air events.

Speaking afterwards, Brookes said: “It feels pretty great to win. I’m super hyped, wasn’t expecting it. I just came in wanting to have a good time and we got there in the end!”

Ben Kinnear, Head Freestlyle Snowboard coach, said: “Very happy to see Mia perform at that level and to have that smile on her face. She’s been enjoying the course, and she’s in a really good state of mind and enjoying her snowboarding, which is great to see especially with a big few weeks coming up.”
