On Saturday, Norwegian Torstein Horgmo maintained the lead in a close contest against Olympic gold medalist Shaun White in the men' (TM)s snowboard slopestyle finals and Jamie Anderson won the women' (TM)s event. The 21-year old Horgmo took the lead on his first run and the field was unable to best his score of 92.67. His winning run included technical tricks on the rails and the flat box and a cab 900 on the first jump, to a backside 900 on the second jump. He finished with a switch backside 1260 on the final jump.' This means a lot to me,' Horgmo said. ' Winning a contest is fun. I still don' (TM)t feel like I beat anybody here today. I' (TM)m only trying to beat myself at the contest. I got my win now. I' (TM)m super stoked. I don' (TM)t think I really realize it yet.' White, of Carlsbad, Calif. was second at 92.33 and Andreas Wiig of Norway was third at 88.00. White remains the overall point leader in the race for the Dew Cup based on this event and his win at the first stop of the Tour in Breckenridge, Colorado. ' This was a full-on course,' White said. ' We had rails at the top, a rail in the middle, big jumps at the bottom. It was really fun.'
