During the week-long event we saw tricks from some of the world's best freeskiers with only a few casualties - Chris Laker sustaining a shoulder injury after a triple cork attempt on day two, and Elias Ambuhl still lost over the Tasman Sea.

The athletes have all selected their final 'One Hit' tricks including:

-double cork 1440 tail grab by Gus Kenworthy-
-switch double cork 1080 safety to truck driver by Jossi Wells-
-double cork 1080 with a tweaked mute grab by Chris Laker (before his injury)-
