Laax Open is probably the biggest gathering of [comp] skiers and snowboarders on the planet.
It all went down this weekend, and the final event was Ski Slopestyle.
Semi-finals went down in some marginal conditions but a stacked field of riders made it through.
She stomped a dub 10 on the final jump into a 5 on the pipe hit.
Mathilde Gremaud then lifted the roof on both the commentary booth with an incredible run.
A solid provisional second though.
Jay put it down again, cleaning up the grabs on his jumps and everything was perfect.
Only 5s on the jumps but it was a super nice run to watch.
Only enough for fourth.
Mathilde couldn’t match her incredible first run, leaving the door open for Eileen.
She cleaned things up a lot but didn’t really up the tricks too much.
It wasn’t enough to overtake Mathilde though.
Huge props to him, a beautiful moment!
Unfortunately, he came a cropper further down.
Max Moffat put down one of the coolest slope runs I’ve seen in a long time.
Switch dub 9 true nose down the pipe was a beauty, and his style was next level.
Mork had a beautiful switch 2 backslide continuing two on the goalpost but couldn’t put the run down.
Andri put down a heater again but again, the last rail got him, missing the p2p.
It did do enough to bump him above Max Moffat though…briefly.
Max absolutely laced it on the second time of asking.
Cleaned up the switch 4 up top, put down the dub bio 14 japan super nice.
Enough to marginally overtake Birk with style for days.
Birk put it down again perfectly though, the switch dub 18 was crazy deep.
He took the lead right back with only A-Hall & Mac to go.
(I think) stale on the ‘money booter’… insane.
It was 19 on the first run… Only enough for second.
Birk wins again, Max gets third.
