Jamie was born in South Lake Tahoe, California into a family of eight children. Her passion for the outdoors began early, since her parents homeschooled Jamie and her sisters and urged them to spend their days outside exploring nature. Jamie began snowboarding at the age of nine, and went on to become the most decorated rider in Winter X Games history. In addition to her many career wins, Jamie has been giving back to the snowboarding community through her participation in a multitude of camps as well as her active hand in non-profits that promote mindful purchasing and charities assisting those in need all around the world. Always looking to use her platform for positive contributions within her community, Jamie created The Jamie Anderson Foundation for children who would like to snowboard but lack the funds to do so. Outside of snowboarding, Anderson practices yoga and works with Protect Our Winters (POW) in the fight against climate change.
