Well, if you bet on White to win overall, hope you bet a lot. If you didn't bet on him....good for you for not being swayed by the masses. If you weren't there to watch it all unfold, you should have been. If you were there you can attest to the unreal airs and wicked tricks these guys were pulling. Yes, I said wicked. Northstar-at-Tahoe's team rider Chas killed it taking third in this last event. Torstein was definitely the crowd pleaser though, finishing with a frontside 270, a backside 900 with a melon grab and a switch backside 1260 on the last jump. It was rad!
Sierra-at-Tahoe's Jamie Anderson took first in Women's Snowboard Slopestyle with her family and friends cheerin' her on. She was stoked to win here she said, with a second overall finish. Spencer O'brien came away with second in this last event, but took away Gold with overall points. She said she was nervous coming into this last event, but to clinch the Cup was awesome! 10am-12:30pm Men's Freeski Prelims
The after party in the Village was like nothing we've ever seen at Northstar! The steeze was epic and the PBR plentiful. Tweak Bird got the crowd pumped and Common brought it up a few more notches and rocked the Village! We'll have pics and video for you so you can relive the rager....or just pretend you were there.
So if you didn't get up here for the party yesterday, don't be that guy/girl who has to ask what happened today...Let me make it easy for you:
11:30am-1pm Men's Freeski Finals
3pm-3:30pm Women's Freeski Exhibition
6pm-7pm Men's Superpipe Final.....no excuses for missing this, FREE Gondola up to the Superpipe.
Bundle up tonight!
