The weather and snow conditions couldn't have been better for the first day of competition. Both men and women killed it in Snowboard Slopestyle prelims!
The girls rocked it today! South Lake Tahoe's Jamie Anderson came into the preliminaries strong and came out first, with Janna Meyen-Weatherby, Chanelle Sladics, Torah Bright and Christina Curry following close behind. The guys didn't show too badly either, hucking big air and working in some technical runs. Andreas Wiig pulled out in front to grab first in preliminaries, but the rest of the guys were right on his heels...flat tires all the way. Get up here for tomorrow's Final! It's going to be a battle.
Mid-Mountain was throwin' up cheers today for Men's Freeski Superpipe preliminaries. The pipe was looking smooth and the guys were too...what?! Yeah that's right. Mike Diddle took home the highest score with a 90.50, but the rest of the qualifying group didn't give him much room to relax. Finals for Men's Freeski Superpipe will be Saturday 6pm-7pm. And no excuses for not being there, because the Gondola will be FREE for this event!

What's going on tomorrow night? A lot. And it's going to be awesome. Autograph signing at Elite Feet, pre-concert party at Butterbox and TC's (with food, drink, and DJ) and the FREE concert with Tweak Bird opening for Common!
I can't tell if it was the amazing weather, or excitement that comes with a competition between the best in the freeskiing and snowboarding world, or the gallons Mountain Dew being doled out, but everyone up on the hill and in the Village today was stoked! Friday will definitely top today with bluebird skies, finals for Men's and Women's Snowboard Slopestyle, and post-competition festivities in the Village!
I love Mountain Dew
