Lily Dhawornvej competed in her first slopestyle event in January 2025. A little more than a year later, she won the FIS Crystal Globe.

The 16 year old from Colorado became the youngest women's slopestyle rider to ever win the honor Sunday.

Dhawornvej got her first two World Cup podiums with a second place finish in Laax and a third place finish in Flachau. She finished in ninth at Aspen, and earned a spot at the Olympics in Milan-Cortina, where she made it to finals day and finished in 11th place.

Add a Junior World Championship in Calgary, a finals day appearance at the Rockstar Energy Open at Breckenridge in December, and two top-5 and one top-10 appearance in three events at the X Games to her list of accomplishments.

It was one heck of a year for Dhawornvej. She had to beat out her idols like Anna Gasser, Kokomo Murase and Mia Brookes to win the top spot, with 169 points.

“All these girls that I’m competing with, I’ve looked up to for so long," Dhawornvej said in a press release. "It’s been super cool to ride with them.”

Dhawornvej was rewarded for her consistency all season long, despite never finishing atop the podium on the World Cup circuit.

Dhawornvej is the first American women's rider to win the FIS Crystal Globe since Julia Marino in 2023. She beat out Murase - the slopestyle bronze medalist in the 2026 Olympics - by nine points. Gasser finished in third place with 140 points, and Mari Fukada in fourth with 116.

Here's the women's slopestyle top five finishers.

Lily Dhawornvej (USA) - 169
Murase Kokomo (JPN) - 160
Anna Gasser (AUT) - 140
Fukada Mari (JPN) - 116
Mia Brookes (GBR) - 100

And here are the overal women's Park and Pipe standings at season's end:

Choi Gaon (KOR) - 300
Kudo Rise (JPN) - 296
Tomita Sena (JPN) - 278
Ono Mitsuki (JPN) - 265
Lily Dhawornvej (USA) - 252

American teammate and fellow teenager Jess Perlmutter finished in 11th place with 72 points. Fellow Americans Rebecca Flynn and Kaitlyn Adams finished with 61 and 44 points respectively, and slopestyle legend Jamie Anderson finished with 40.
