US Grand Prix Slopestyle Qualifiers
Words & photos by Jon Lang
The Visa US Grand Prix was once again stoked for another stunning California day in Mammoth’s Unbound Park for Men’s and Women’s Slopestyle Qualifiers yesterday. The hard working Mammoth park crew really out did themselves for the event, building a stunning course to match the great weather and talented field of skiers. The course offered smooth rail features at the top followed by four immaculate jumps, giving the skiers seven features to impress the judges. The competitors were all pretty stoked on the course and it definitely showed in their runs.

“The course is great, it’s running fast. We’ve got blue skies, sunshine, no wind, everyone’s having fun and skiing well; it’s going to be a good day!” says Nick Goepper, who is by far the young gun of the year, giving every top skier a run for their money and is currently ranked first in the AFP Men's Slopestyle World Rankings. Another consistently impressive youngster, Torin Yater-Wallace, jumped into the slopestyle game yesterday and showed that he is by no means just a pipe skier by qualifying third ahead of Goepper and just behind Tom Wallisch. But in the end, the top spot went to another up-and-comer, Alex Bellemare, who is continuing to roll out an impressive season during his first go around on the professional competition circuit.

On the ladies' side of things, the women of freeskiing sure stepped their game up on the big features Mammoth prepared, with Devin Logan taking the top spot followed by Kaya Turski in second and Emilia Wint in third, all of whom threw down killer runs. Their offerings were so impressive that I overheard a few ex-competitors saying something along the lines of, “Dude, I don’t think I could actually make finals in the women’s heat” Keep killing it ladies, and good luck in today's finals!
