Alexis Waite
Alexis Waite, (born October 30, 1981) is an American professional snowboarder based out of Salt Lake City, Utah. She learned to snowboard when she was 12 years old near her hometown of Seattle.
[edit] CareerGrowing up in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, Waite learned to snowboard at local Seattle ski areas Alpental and Stevens Pass. She decided she wanted to be a professional snowboarder when she was a teenager, and began pursuing a career through the contest circuit in the Northeast at 17[1].
Waite first gained recognition in snowboarding the following year in 2000, when she won the USSA Eastern Halfpipe Championship[1] and also the USASA National Freestyle Championship. During the 2002/2003 season she was offered sponsorships by Planet Earth, 32/etnies and Santa Cruz Snowboards as a professional snowboarder and continued to compete, switching her focus to Slopestyle, Quarterpipe and Rails. Early wins were the 2003 Vans Triple Crown Jib Contest and the 2003 Summer Windell's Bonfire Triple Rail Jam[1]. No stranger to the podium since then, Waite is usually in the finals of the major contests, and has been a Winter X-Games[1] SlopeStyle regular since 2004. She also won "Best Trick" and a Rolex at the 2006 Abominable Snow Jam Quarterpipe @ Mt Hood, and "Best Trick" at the US Open Rail Jam in 2005.
She is also considered influential in the snowboard video industry, and had her first video appearance in "Declaration" (2002). Since then, she has been appearing in videos including "Neoproto" (2003), "As If" (2005) and "Ro Sham Bo" (2006) by Misschief films[1], "LaLaLand" (2007) by Runway Films and "Labor of Love" (2007) by Roxy, and "White Air" (2007). Waite has been the subject of several television shows, including "First Hand" (2006) on FuelTV and "Stunt Junkies" (2007) on Discovery Channel. Her current snowboarding sponsors include Roxy (clothing and snowboards), Electric Visual, Boost Mobile, Northwave (boots), Drake (bindings), Bakoda, Coal, Cilla and Exit Real World.
Waite helped design the Santa Cruz Snowboards women's line when she was a member of their team, including the award winning "Muse" snowboard. Currently, she and her Roxy teammates have developed a signature snowboard series called the Roxy "Ollie Pop." VOGUE magazine featured Waite as a new style leader in article titled "Tomorrow's Muse" (Oct 04). She notably broke her eye socket, cheekbone and wrist in the 2005 Winter X-Games[1] and both her hands simultaneously at Ms SuperPark 2007.
