Today was the last day of the Oakley Arctic Challenge. S**t went down!! Slopestyle was a huge success with some of the biggest names in the sport throwing down. Finland's Peetu Piiroinen captured first and solidified his spot as Swatch TTR (Ticket To Ride) world tour leader. With his win at the Arctic Challenge he guaranteed himself a spot atop the podium two weeks from now at the US Open in Vermont, when the Swatch TTR awards are given out. Biting at his heals were Norwegian powerhouses Torstein Horgmo and Mikkel Bang who took silver and bronze in the event.
Here is a video from the qualification rounds. As soon as more videos of the finals become available they will be here.
Also, coming up in a few days are the first ever European Winter X Games. Starting March 10th, many of the same athletes that compete in the famous Winter X Games in Aspen, Colorado will being do it all over again in Tignes, France. It will be a three day event showcasing snowboard and skiing slopestyle and halfpipe events.
