Gretchen Bleiler, originally a midwestern girl, discovered her snowboarding skills after moving to Aspen at the age of 10.   Her mountain-climbing, avalanche-dodging days turned her into the Olympic Snowboard Silver Medalist, and three-time X Games Half-Pipe Gold Medalist we see today.

Bleiler stopped by ‘The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien’ where she talked about ‘Stale Fish’, her infamous fall at this year’s X Games and the 2010 Winter Olympics.  Stand-up comic Norm MacDonald was also on the show which made the interview all the more interesting! You can check out the skills on Bleiler at this years U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix on NBC December 13th.
