Simon Dumont, of Bethel, Maine, won the men' (TM)s freeski superpipe finals after taking the lead in his first run and increasing his lead in his second, to finish at 94.00.His winning run included a cork 900 to a 900 on the right wall. He continued with a cork 1260, an alley oop 720 to finish with a switch 1080. Dumont' (TM)s win was redemption from his fifth-place finish in Breckenridge, Colo.' My self esteem was down a little bit,' Dumont said. ' Breckenridge didn' (TM)t go my way. Slopestyle didn' (TM)t go my way. So, I had one option and it was to come out here and hopefully lay something down. I wasn' (TM)t the only one. It was a huge night for skiing. I' (TM)m psyched to be a part of it.' An event highlight came from Canadian Justin Dorey who executed a technical double flip in his second-place run, which scored 91.75. Tanner Hall, of Kalispell, Mont. was third at 90.00. Dorey and Hall are now tied for first place in the season point standings and Dumont is only 10-points behind in second.
