This season, however, the COVID-19 pandemic has decimated her schedule. Karker will drop into the Buttermilk Mountain halfpipe Friday for her first competitive runs of the winter. This is our first event and our only scheduled event at this point, Karker told The Canadian Press.
The 23-year-old from Erin, Ont., finished second in women s halfpipe last year in Aspen.
Karker was a rookie on the Canadian team in 2019 when she placed third in Aspen and fourth in the world championship.
What international competition is happening in snowboard and freestyle skiing this winter varies widely across disciplines. Freestyle halfpipe has been a desert so far.
