American Julia Marino scored the U.S. its first medal with epic Prada snowboard

It's the Prada snowboard for us.

BEIJING, China — American Julia Marino was able to win Team USA's first medal of the Winter Olympics -- and she did it all with style.

Marino put together a picture-perfect Run 2, perhaps a career-best, all with an epic Prada snowboard.  

A quick search on Prada's website shows the $3,600 snowboard is "inspired by freeride design and made with eco-sustainable materials, is easy to handle and manoeuvre."
