Frisco snowboarder Ellie Weiler battled through snowy conditions on Thursday, March 4, to capture the Revolution Tour Copper Mountain and overall Rev Tour women’s snowboard slopestyle championship.
The accomplishment capped a comeback two years in the making for the Team Summit rider who’s recovered from a torn ACL and medial meniscus. With an 85.25 on the Woodward Copper slopestyle course Thursday, Weiler secured her first Rev Tour gold medal after previously medaling twice at Rev Tours two years ago.
“It obviously means a ton to me,” Weiler said Friday. “I try and be the hardest worker I can be because I can’t control what other people are doing. A lot of people look and say, ‘That person did this. I have to change my run.’ But sticking and focusing on yourself and what you can control will result in the best situation. It’s about working hard, even if that’s not the funnest thing to do.”
