That aside, the gnarliest discipline in freestyle skiing was set this years Dew Tour off with a bang.
Everyone got sendy and were locked in for another great week of events.
Without further ado lets get on to what went down at Copper this morning.
With a two run, best run counts format.
Kelly Sildaru skiing with a broken thumb and no poles.
Thats a lot of hits… although I wonder if it has something to do with injury.
Either way very techy but with less amplitude than Brita, rewarded by the judges though; 88.75.
Cassie Sharpes run contained a lovely flair and both way 9s.
Earning 81.75 and t left 9 tail, right 9 scoring 81.75 for a provisional 2nd.
Earning a 93.50 she looks to be tough to beat right now.
She decided to omit her second run.
Taking the number 1 spot and holding it fo the remainder of qualification.
Scoring 87 and taking third.
Run 2:
The top 3 remained unchanged during run 2, none improving their socres.
With a 2 run, best run counts format and 10 spots to fight for out of 23 riders.
The stage was set.
Most riders took the strategy of getting points on the board in the first run of the qualifications.
The weather was pretty on and off and there were hints of it clearing up.
Some riders managed to squeak into nice windows while others got gusted around above the coping.
Bagging top spot with 91.50 which he wouldn’t improve on.
Kevin Rolland who failed to put down a clean run in run 1 also fell, failing to qualify.
An awesome run to earn 90.75 and take the third place spot.
Alex Ferreira played it safe having already qualified for the finals.
