Kelowna's Kelsey Serwa skied to gold Saturday in Aspen

Five years after one of the biggest triumphs of her career, Kelsey Serwa is back on top.

The 26-year-old from Kelowna raced to a gold medal Saturday in women's ski cross at the X Games in Aspen, Colo.

In 2011, Serwa won her first X Games title, crashing at the finish line in spectacular fashion and suffering multiple injuries, before stepping on to the podium.

91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵœWhat made me most happy was to land on my feet in the finish.91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ

Serwa, who took last year off to recover from injury and attend UBC Okanagan, won a silver medal earlier this season on the World Cup circuit in Italy.

Serwa's Canadian teammate, Marielle Thompson, finished second at the X Games.
