The second Freeride World Tour stop in Golden, British Columbia finally went off on February 5th.
On Monday, the clouds parted ways, giving the mountain a mystical glow feel.
The Ozone looked unreal - it was an untracked venue full of many epic lines to choose from.
The venue featured many technical, rocky runs with huge cliffs and chutes to hit.
No backflips were seen, only threes.
Occasionally a cloud of fog would roll in, briefly halting the competition due to visibility.
Overall Ozone proved itself to be an amazing venue for the Freeride World Tour.
Both the men and women’s snowboarders threw down impressive runs.
Davey from Homer, Alaska was by far the standout out the snowboarders.
He finished first with 88 points and was stoked at the finish well after his run.
“This smile could never be wiped from my face,” he said, while smiling.
Women’s Ski Results
The women’s ski competition was amazing to watch.
Logan unarguably deserved first after his full-throttle line, but the other podium places could have gone to anyone.
However, the most memorable run was fromGeorge Rodney, who sent it to the moon.
The avalanche debris from the cornice bobbled his run at the start.
“I felt like I was flying!
The run was awarded ten whole points.
The next Freeride World Tour competition will be on February 6th, for make up for the Hakuba stop.
Two days of competing is no easy feat, so best of luck to the riders tomorrow.
Stay tuned for the next FWT write up tomorrow and congrats to all of the competitors today.
