Men’s Freeski Slopestyle was reserved for the final two days of the Dew Tour iON Mountain Championships, and the crowd was most definitely thankful to have it held on the weekend as they lined the course during the semi-final.
The semi-final format included a whopping 31 skiers ready to get rowdy on the slopes, one of whom earned his spot by winning the Free Flow Tour, with each riders allowed two runs on the course and only the best score counting.

Despite heavy snowfall throughout the duration of the competition, every rider was able to give it their all and pull off tricks of high technicality. After the first round of the 31 riders, it was Tom Wallisch leading the pack. However, the second round of riding brought on a whole slew of more tricks and runs that eventually bumped Wallisch down to the number five spot.

At the end of semis it was James Woods, aka Woodsy, who stomped the best run that earned him a score of 94.50 and the top spot heading into tomorrow’s final. Woodsy delivered a switch on front side switch-up pretzel 270 on the flat-down rail, disaster lip slide 270 to switch on the down-flat-down rail, switch left corked 720 method, switch right 1080, switch on switch-up blind 270 on the iON cannon, a left double 1260 and a switch right double 1260.
“Qualifying first for Dew Tour is quite special. I am very happy with myself. I came here today with a job to do; that job was to get into finals, and I did that. It is definitely not a win, yet, but it is something I can be very happy with.”
Nick Goepper and Andreas Hatveit rounded out the top three, respectively, with Russ Henshaw in fourth and Tom Wallisch in fifth.
