I'm definitely a bit bummed McRae isn't in Big Air after seeing that he has both way switch triple 14s.

looks like it's supposed to start snowing saturday. sounds like a good storm so it could get pretty messy for big air saturday night. probably no quad this year but personally i'm pumped this will make things a bit more interesting.

I'd like to see anyone other then geopper win slope. I'd definitely be cool to see Evan or Alex take that one.
And either gagnier or wells take big air.

Gus is going to win and then break the internet when he makes out with his boyfriend (I predict he will gain 200k + Instagram followers).

Since he is only first reserve not even in the starting field my guess for this year is either Mcrae or Mcecachran.

Lets get the hype up for mens slopestyle.

What do you guys think about henrik? two tripple line this year like he was trying to do last year? or will he stick to lower but more tech spins like that cork/föat 180 he tried out at bigair last night?
