Maddie Bowman and David Wise stole the show Thursday with wins in the women's and men's ski superpipe finals, respectively:
Not to be outdone, Brett Turcotte captured the snowmobile speed and style competition Thursday before continuing his dominance with the snowmobile freestyle title Friday. He had the opportunity to demonstrate his skills alongside the skiers and snowboarders, none of which stood out more than Jamie Anderson and Max Parrot on Friday.
Anderson won the women's snowboard slopestyle final, while Parrot captured the snowboarding big air with—you guessed it—some significant air.
It was a crowded day Saturday with six finals, and Maggie Voisin (women's ski slopestyle) and Henrik Harlaut (men's ski big air) set the tone in the skiing events. Cody Matechuk won the snow bikecross, but it was the snowboarding that largely took center stage.
Anna Gasser won the women's snowboard big air, Marcus Kleveland prevailed in the men's snowboard slopestyle and Chloe Kim took home the title in the women's snowboard superpipe.
Sarah Hoefflin and Henrik Harlaut impressed during Sunday's competition in the women's ski big air and men's ski slopestyle, respectively, but it was a loaded field in the men's snowboard superpipe that stood out.
Surpassing a ridiculous score of 94 was mandatory to even sniff the medal podium, as Ayumu Hirano, Scotty James and Ben Ferguson put on an absolute show. Ultimately, it was Hirano who dazzled with a 99:
James likely would have been thrilled to take a score of 98 if it was offered before the competition started, but he ran into the buzzsaw that was Hirano in an action-packed final.
