The teams lining up at the peak.
In the red corner, North America.
In the blue, Europe!
Big straight airs up top and a smooth three off one of the medium drops at the bottom.
Probably run of the day.
Good vibes after the first run.
Nico had a clean, stylish run with a cool windlip wallride up top but couldn’t match Parker.
Benedikt Mayer Vs Parker White
Facing up to P-White based on his first run was a big task.
Mathieu Bijasson, late invitee, underdog… killed it.
Nobody does backflips quite like Seth though.
Mathieu took pretty much the identical line to Seth but skied it cleaner to level the scores at 7-7.
Loic Collomb-Patton Vs Tim Durtschi
This was probably the hardest call of the whole event.
The judges took a while on this but eventually gave Loic the points.
Europe’s MVP got sendy!
Sage Cattabriga-Alosa Vs Sam Anthamatten
The final duel of the day was a banger.
