The winners were announced Sunday morning, giving the judges time to review the two runs by each of the 26 participants who threw double backflips, nose butters, huge methods, and the first-ever wallride in the iconic couloir.

“The event was incredible. The athletes took skiing and riding to a whole new level this year,” says JHMR Senior Events and Partnership Manager Jess McMillan who was part of the brain-trust behind the inaugural event four years ago.
“We had a challenging weather window (it just keeps snowing!), not to mention pulling an event off like this in times of COVID. It’s a true testament to the dedicated staff, athletes, and partners to execute such an amazing competition this winter. We are so grateful,” McMillan added.
