Amid consistent snowfall today on Breckenridge Mountain, two heats of women and four heats of men dropped into the slopestyle course with an eye towards qualifying for Friday’s final round. The top four athletes from each heat advanced, leaving us with eight women and 16 men who will continue to duke it out.
This contest marks the third, of five, Olympic qualifying events to be held on North American soil this season. The series kicked off with the Dew Tour, held on these same slopes in December, followed by a Grand Prix event at Copper Mountain. This edition of the Grand Prix tour was originally slated to be held at Northstar, CA, but due to poor snow conditions, event organizers were forced to make a quick change. Following two Grand Prix events in Park City, UT, scheduled in mid-January, the United States Olympic teams will be announced on January 22.
