Format
Quick breakdown of the format, we have 2 60 minute jam heats.
Scores are based on best run in 3 scored attempts.
Skiers were allowed to call their lap otherwise they would be in a practice"/unjudged run.
The top 20 from the heats move on into the finals, 60 minute jam best trick.
In the finals its the single best trick.
Any rail goes, do your best.
Top 6 of the finals move into the super final!
Super final = 15 minute jam best trick wins.
Heats
Heats 1 and 2 were both packed with riders and tricks.
Transfers, 3swaps, corks in, everyone was throwing down.
Unfortunately no replay of the heats, available to watch.
Jacob Belanger went backslide through the battleship, g as always.
Snow started nuking and everyones was really pushing to get any speed from here on out.
