  • Ski Slopestyle Finals- Winter Dew Tour

    Men's Ski Pipe Finals- Winter Dew Tour
    The Winter Dew Tour at Snowbasin Resort concluded Sunday with slopestyle finals, in both skiing and snowboarding. Kicking things off early in the AM were the dudes of skiing. 12 super-duper pros took to the course each vying for a win.

    As with all of the contests that went down at the Wendy's Invitational, the field was uber stacked- in this case more so than a Baconator, and triplestack stacked.

    The sun was blazing, and the skier's were simply 'amazing- each showing the judges they wanted a win.
    Second to drop was mista Bobby Brown, who laid down a fierce first run that scored a 90.0 right off the bat. Then Mr. Brown upped the ante by going even bigger and earned himself 93.25.

    Ian Cosco had a great showing as he lauched a double corked 12, but just wasn't able to keep it keep clean enough to break into podium.

    Coming in hot for second was the winner of the Breck Dew Tour, Andreas Havtveit.
    "Dre" got nifty on all the rail features, switching it up all over while styling it out, but his attempts just weren't enough to edge out Tom Wallisch.

    Wallisch was in it to win it, and that's exactly what he did. His run was very progressive and simply incredible to watch. Here's what T-Wall unleashed- double switch-up on the up-flat-down rail, 270 on, pretzel 450 off the second rail, left 900 tail, switch right 1080, to switch left double cork 1080.
    Dizzie? So was the crowd!



    Tom Wallisch- Doing his thing, and making it look easy. Congrats!

  • Bobby Brown Still on Fire: New Zealand Freeski Open Slopestyle

    NZ Freeski Open (slopestyle)

    Words & photos by Dan Carr


    Every August an increasing proportion of the skiing community makes the migration south of the Equator to Wanaka, New Zealand. With so many of the top pros in town, the competition scene here has been heating up over the last couple of years and the word about town was that this year's New Zealand Freeski Open could very well play host to the most impressive slopestyle competition ever witnessed. The vibe amongst the competitors was unique, everybody was stoked to be skiing with each other again, and stoked on the course that Cardona had laid down for them.

    Starting off with a couple of flat-down rails, into a pair of parallel up rails, followed by three jumps of increasing size; it wasn't the longest course but it was beautifully prepared.

    The women's competition went down first on day ine and Dania Assaly took home first with a solid run ending with a 900 on the money booter at the bottom of the course. This years X Games slope winner, Anna Segal, came in second with her 180, switch 5 and flat 3 combo on the bottom three jumps. Third place went to Eva-Maria Patscheider from Austria who added the podium finish to her third place at this year's European Open.

    Women's Results

    1) Dania Assally - 89.4
    2) Anna Segal - 85.8
    3) Eva-Maria Patscheider - 82.8
    4) Chiho Takao - 63.0
    5) Arianna Tricomi - 56.6
    6) Shuri Terada - 51.6
    7) Sofie Windstedt - 17.6
    8) Julie Benard - 17.4

    Twelve riders were pre-qualified for the men's finals but a further eight would need to be selected from the 51 strong field in the qualifiers. Unfortunately the weather had other plans though and notorious "Cardrona fog" came in quick and thick. All 50 riders successfully completed their first runs but following this the judges had a tough time seeing the whole course.

    Riders and judges persevered with the conditions, sending someone every time a gap in the clouds appeared. At the end of the day though, not every rider managed to complete both qualifying runs so the decision was made to bump the finals to the next day and to give all riders a rebate on their second qualifying run the next morning.

    Wanaka woke to a cloudless sky the next morning and the delay to the finals had only served to heighten people's expectations. When training began in the morning it was obvious that the crowd wouldn't be disappointed as a continuous train of double variations was sent over the final jump. Today, spinning both ways and throwing a dub was not going to guarantee you anything. In fact, 19 of the 22 finalists threw some sort of double variation on the final jump and only a couple of guys were not ambidextrously spinning in every direction. A little time away from the competition scene seemed to have done the world of good and it was great to see everyone having such a good time in a relaxed atmosphere.

    When the scores were tallied up Bobby Brown came out on top closely followed by Wallish who put down an almost identical run apart from the top rail feature. Bobby went with the switch 450 disaster and Wallish went for the blind swap, pretzl. The top 3 all finished off their runs with perfect double cork 12's.

    This really was one of the most impressive displays yet seen by the freeskiing community. "The slopestyle course was awesome. I loved it," said Brown. "It was the best competition I've been in for a long time, the event had a great feel to it." The evolution of slopestyle skiing continues then and whilst the podium finishers all used the double cork 12 as their weapon, it was also good to see some innovation amongst other riders, throwing in new grabs or even entirely new axis' into their doubles. Elias Ambuhl and Matt Margetts in particular brought something different to the final jump in the line. And a quick shout needs to go out to Matt Phillipi and Andri Ambuhl. Both guys skied super hard but had nasty falls. Heal fast my friends.

    1) Bobby Brown - 93.0
