The local forerunners were a taster of things to come and the snow looked epic.
Ariana Tricomi answered immediately, cleaning up her run too, and adding some flair.
Jennica went to the moon on a 360 and narrowly didn’t ride it out.
Ultimately Ari took the win because her second-best score was higher.
The backflip to stall on the QP was dope too.
Markus Eder put down the first dub 10 of the day but unfortunately fell on his last hit.
Perhaps not the most explosive run but technically flawless, with the mirrored spins a super nice touch.
I thought he got a bit underscored.
Markus Eder couldn’t put his final run down, quite.
He stomped a cork 10 stale on the bottom hit for good measure too, ridiculous performance.
It was an insane show of backcountry stunts overall, and you definitely need to watch the replay.
I say that knowing they will find a way to go bigger and better next year.
