The World Ski & Snowboard Festival in Whistler hosted another insane big air this year. The women's lineup consisted of Sofia Tchernetsky, Elena Gaskell, Yuki Tsubota, & Nikki Blackall. The Men were as follows: Max Moffatt, Matt Wilcox, Philippe Langevin, Teal Harle, Nick Suchy, Noah Morrison, Patrick Dew, Evan McEachran, Kai Martin, & Ben Lynch.
With $25,000 up for grabs tonight, the only rules were that the women have to spin left & right while the men have to do a forward & switch run. Skiing in the rain made for some interesting conditions but that didn't stop the competitors from throwing down.
