Mia Brookes has goals. “My first year in Aspen didn’t go the way I wanted, so since then I’ve been waking up every day just blasting music and manifesting: I’m gonna win X Games this year! Everyone’s going down!” she says. “I’ve got nothing against anyone, I just want the gold!”
The 17-year-old’s confidence is hardly misplaced — Brookes has bolstered her credentials significantly in the year since XG Aspen 2023. In February, she captured the FIS World Championships slopestyle title in a major upset thanks to the first 1440 landed by a woman in a contest.She also won the 2023 FIS Crystal Globe for overall Big Air points.
“It was definitely a hectic year,” Brookes says. “Some things that happened for me in 2023, including my first X Games invitation, were things I grew up thinking would take my whole career to achieve.”
