The ladies were up first, where Devin Logan scored an 88.00, taking the top spot with a run that was defined by clean execution, huge amplitude and smooth grabs. She started with a straight air, followed by a left 540, to flair, straight air, alley-oop, left 720, and ended her run with a switch 540. She will now join Maddie Bowman (who is pre-qualified to finals following her win in Killington) and the rest of the top five semi-finalists in tomorrow's final.
On the men's side of things, David Wise left no doubt in the judges' minds that he was the top dog in Men's Ski Superpipe Semi-Finals this afternoon. Wise threw down a switch left 720, to right 900 tail, left 900 nose, alley-oop flat 540 tail and capped things off with a huge left double cork 1260 tail with undeniable amplitude to score a 95.00.

Behind him in second was Thomas Krief with an 89.00, while Gus Kenworthy placed third with an 88.00. The top ten finishers will now advance to tomorrow's finals, where they'll meet Kevin Rolland and Torin Yater-Wallace, who are pre-qualified to the big show.
