We’ve been following Clair Bidez all season on the U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix and Winter Dew Tour, but apparently we hadn’t seen everything yet:
The 22 year-old snowboarder from Minturn, Colorado is peeling off her winter base layers this week for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2010, alongside Olympic snowboarder Hannah Teter, alpine ski racer Lindsay Vonn, and aerial skier Lacy Schnoor. The athletes were photographed by Warwick Saint at Whistler Blackcomb Resort in Whistler, Canada.
Bidez is a member of the U.S. Snowboarding team – though she’s not actually on the Olympic team, as the SI.com spread seems to imply – and also rides for Copper Mountain. She is sponsored by Nikita, Flow, Helly Hansen, and Rip It. We’re guessing she just might pick up a few new sponsors, and a few new fans, with this swimsuit spread.
