She's a busy lady, Miss Jones. 

But Powderroom managed to catch up with her in Switzerland for a quick chat about the upcoming season. 

Here's what she had to say...

"On Monday, I'm flying to Colorado. I'm spending three weeks riding in Breckenridge.

"There's a Mountain Dew Tour slopestyle contest at the end of it that I've been invited to. It'll be a nice, mellow start to the season. 

"I'm back home for Christmas with the family, and then I'm out to Morzine for New Year. 

"In January, I'm planning to ride with friends for a couple of weeks before the next competition - the Burton European Open in Switzerland.
