The talented Aussie who trains with the New South Wales Institute of Sport (NSWIS), fought hard in a highly-contested event against Olympic standard athletes to score 110 points in the opening halfpipe competition of the season at Colorado's Copper Mountain.
Currently ranked 13th in the world, Arthur has been in solid form since her silver medal at the Lillehammer 2016 Winter Youth Olympic Games and will be one to watch in the coming years as she works towards PyeongChang in 2018.
In the Men’s field, Nathan Johnston finished with a score of 70.40 to sit in an impressive 8th in the final standings, while Scotty James and Kent Callister did not compete.
The event is the perfect warm-up to the Grand Prix World Cup later this week, also based at Copper Mountain, with all four Aussies competing.
