It was an action-packed day at Killington, with hardly a minute going by without some killer freeskiing going off. The ladies hit the slope course bright and early for Women's Ski Slopestyle Qualifiers, just as the lifts were starting to run for the day.

Maude Raymond threw down a solid run to earn the top qualifying spot by throwing down back to back railslides into a railslide disaster grab, followed by a left 360, left cork 540, and finishing with a huge left 360 japan grab. The top seven competitors from today's qualifier advance to Saturday's Semi-Finals for a chance to compete against the best in Sunday's Finals.
